Desperate Antis Ask DC Circuit to Block MVP Construction 1 More Time

A long-running lawsuit filed by Big Green groups using (abusing) a small group of uppity Virginia landowners argues the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) had no right to delegate authority to Mountain Valley Pipeline (MVP) to use eminent domain to cross land, including the land owned by the small group of uppity landowners in Virginia. Earlier this year, the U.S. Supreme Court made the mistake of keeping the lawsuit alive, remanding it to a lower court (see US Supreme Court Keeps MVP Eminent Domain Case Alive in Lower Court). Big Green and the uppity landowners filed an emergency request on Tuesday with the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals, asking that the construction of MVP be stopped while the lawsuit continues to play out.
