Once again, the Obama regime runs right over the court’s decision.
Via ABC:
A federal judge denied a Native American tribe’s request to temporarily block construction of the four-state Dakota Access oil pipeline, which has sparked heated protests. But the U.S. Justice Department responded to the ruling by announcing steps to protect — for now — a lake along the construction route.
Judge James Boasberg of the U.S. District Court in Washington, D.C., decided that there is not enough evidence to support the argument that building the pipeline would harm the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe, which sued to stop the pipeline’s construction.
Boasberg’s ruling showed sympathy for the tribe’s history but disagreed with the lawsuit’s contention that the Army Corps of Engineers erred in its granting permits for the pipeline.
