There's lots that can be done to slow it down, though, even though none of it legally valid. No one particularly cares about the constitution, apparently.

I feel like it should be reiterated at this point that this isn't even a pipeline construction project. It's a twinning project, the line's already there. There really isn't a new pipeline, it's increased capacity at minimum risk, and even this one is fought tooth and nail because oil is evil I guess. I'm not at all optimistic that any truly new pipelines are actually getting built at this point.
