"Today’s court decision wipes out President Obama’s last excuse,” said Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee Chairwoman Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska. “He’s had six years to approve a project that will increase U.S. energy supplies and create closer ties with our nearest ally and neighbor, and he’s refused to act. Regardless of whatever new excuse he may come up with, Congress is moving forward.”Republicans and centrist Democrats want Obama to green light the pipeline because they say it will create jobs — the State Department forecast 35 permanent jobs and 42,100 temporary ones during the two-year construction phase — and strengthen energy security by getting supplies from Canada."
