Congressional Delegation Files Friend of Court Brief Supporting MVP

On Tuesday, U.S. Senator Joe Manchin (liberal Democrat from West Virginia) filed an amicus curiae "friend of the court" brief with the U.S. Supreme Court to show his support for Mountain Valley Pipeline (MVP) in its fight against the actions of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit (see WV Sen. Joe Manchin Files Friend of Court Brief to Support MVP). It looks like old Joe jumped the gun. A day later, nine other members of Congress, including the other U.S. Senator from WV, Shelley Moore Capito, and both of WV's members of the U.S. House, Carol Miller and Alex Mooney (all Republicans), filed a joint amicus curiae. Why didn't Manchin wait and join his colleagues?
