Time for presidential courage

veto

The GOP in the House of Representatives, with the help of 28 Democrats, approved the TransCanada Corp.’s Keystone XL pipeline by a vote of 266-153.

The bill now goes to the Senate where Mitch McConnell is confident it will pass.

The Nebraska Supreme Court ruled today that the pipeline could go along the planned route, so McConnell promised that “If today’s ruling is still not enough to move the president to approve the project, Congress will force that decision”.

The bill will go to the Senate next week where amendments can be added.

Time for the veto pen.
