"the majority attempted to force the Obama administration to hastily make a decision on the Keystone XL pipeline."

"the majority held hostage the payroll tax cut extension... to attach a rider that attempted to force President Obama to come out in favor of Keystone XL."

"the only piece of legislation that actually became law was the Pipeline Safety Reauthorization bill, which expanded regulation in order to address public safety."

"So my question is, why did the State Department recommend that the President deny the Keystone XL pipeline application?"
