MANCHIN FILES AMICUS BRIEF WITH U.S. SUPREME COURT IN SUPPORT OF MOUNTAIN VALLEY PIPELINE
Press Release
Issues: Judicial Branch
"I was proud to help ensure that the Mountain Valley Pipeline would finally be completed through ratification and approval of the project's permits without further judicial review in the Fiscal Responsibility Act. But, yet again, this vital energy infrastructure project has been put on hold by the Fourth Circuit despite the new law clearly stating that the Fourth Circuit no longer has this authority. We cannot let this continue any longer. It's a shame when members of Congress have to ask the Supreme Court to intervene to maintain the credibility of the laws that we have passed and the President has signed, but I am confident that the Court will uphold our laws and allow construction of MVP to resume."
