History is a great educator. In 1973, Congress passed and President Nixon signed the Trans-Alaska Pipeline Authorization Act to 'to insure that because of the extensive governmental studies already made of this project and the national interest in early delivery of North Slope Oil to domestic markets, the trans-Alaska pipeline be constructed promptly without further administrative or judicial delay or impediment.'
Lee Terry draws parallels between the Keystone XL pipeline and the historical Trans-Alaska pipeline.

I am skeptical--skeptical, Mr. Cole, that such a diversion would be beneficial given the other important matters before this Commission.
H.R. 3527, the Poison Control Centers Reauthorization Act, a very well-crafted bill introduced by Representative Lee Terry and will reauthorize important activities related to poison control centers.
I believe the operative words here are 'so far', because there is still the northern route of the Keystone XL to be approved and built.
And that would be a ripe one for the Supreme Court to probably take up on a fast track.
