Temporary Win Against Pipeline

The Republican-controlled Senate has failed by five votes to override President Barack Obama’s veto of legislation approving the Keystone XL oil sands pipeline. The override had required a two-thirds majority.

The failed vote means the controversial project will have to wait for permission or denial from the Obama administration, and the House of Representatives will no longer vote on an override.

So, they just wait until Jeb Bush is in office. Or, maybe not even that long…

Sen. John Hoeven (R-N.D.), who authored the bill and represents one of the states that would be affected by the pipeline, said that Republicans would try and attach it to legislation such as a long-term transportation funding bill or an energy package.

“If we don’t win the battle today, we will win the war, because we will attach it to another piece of legislation,” Hoeven told the Hill.

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
