what a juvenile. Typical of you.

They never give up. Liberal hate progress, but call themselves progressive, ironic, no?

What exactly is juvenile by noting irony?

U.S. Constitution, Article 1, Sec. 8:

"The Congress shall have the power... to regulate commerce... among the several states..."

Sorry, Nebraska. The way they are interpreting that nowadays, if they want to order the pipeline put in to carry oil or gas from north to south, you don't have any say. Just lie back and enjoy it.

(That sounds highly dictatorial, of course, and probably isn't what the Framers had in mind. But what they WROTE and ratified, takes precedence over what they had in mind.)

Another reason to vote out Republicans.

So the Interstate Commerce clause is a reason to vote Republicans out? Considering it's been around since the beginning of our Republic and Republicans keep getting voted in, I dont think your argument is persuasive to the American people.

Nebraskans for what? "Peace"? What does "peace" have to do with an oil pipeline? Do some Nebraskans equate poverty with peace?

Its easy to get around. the land is owned by the government but leased to a private entity or authority to run the pipeline through said land.

If the government owns the land as you say, then the people of Nebraska are SOL. Says so right in the Constitution.

That's repellent, but it's the law.

The people of Nebraska should realize their own fuel supplies require shipment through other states, them being landlocked and not able to produce enough fuel for their own use.

Why should poor poor Iowans suffer the potential pollution of spilled oil from all those trucks, barges, or rail tankers?

LOL, don't listen to the very vocal minority in our State....Nebraska is a VERY Conservative State and we WANT the pipeline.

From the discussion it would give the impression there are no pipelines in Nebraska and this would be the only one. That's not at all true.

You are right, we also have A LOT of Missile Silos in the western portion of the State.
We have Nuclear Power plants...we also have a very vocal bunch of Leftist assholes.

That's just his standard blurt, that he spews out whenever he can't think of anything to say. Sort of like vomit from a drunk. Pay him no mind.

NO to Pipeline Across Nebraska!
If the state of Nebraska refuses to allow the pipeline with in the boundaries of the state and others follow this train of thought what happens?
Is it a states issue or a national issue?
Should the country risk the possible contamination of the aquifer that feeds so many people?

The Ogallala aquifer was drained and polluted by agriculture long ago...

I'm assuming that when one posts a comment they are read on the issue. I guess that's not the case.
