JUST IN: The Supreme Court clears the way for the construction of the Mountain Valley Pipeline, a controversial natural gas pipeline, in a victory for Sen. Joe Manchin and President Biden
The justices agreed to lift lower court orders that froze construction of the project while legal challenges play out. The Supreme Court’s order is a victory for West Virginia Sen. Joe Manchin, a conservative Democrat who has championed the project and pushed for it during debt ceiling negotiations in June. In the brief order, the court offered no extensive reasoning and no dissents were noted.
In court papers, lawyers for one of the environmental groups told the Supreme Court it should allow the stay to remain in place, emphasizing that the lower court has put the case on an expedited timeline. They argued that Section 324 was “tailored to mandate victory” for Mountain Valley pipeline and that Congress “cannot pick winners and losers in pending litigation by compelling finds or results.
