“Since his first day in office, President Biden has made it his mission to undo all the progress of the previous administration, with complete disregard for the Constitutional limits on his power. His decision to revoke the pipeline permit is not only unlawful but will also devastate the livelihoods of thousands of workers, their families, and their communities,” Attorney General Paxton said. “This administration continues to tout imaginary green-energy jobs, without any recognition that their actions in the real world will make it impossible for hard-working Americans to put food on the table.”
“The power to regulate foreign and interstate commerce belongs to Congress — not the President. This is another example of Joe Biden overstepping his constitutional role to the detriment of Montanans,” Attorney General Knudsen said. “There is not even a perceived environmental benefit to his actions. His attempt to cancel the Keystone XL Pipeline is an empty virtue signal to his wealthy coastal elite donors. It shows Biden’s contempt for rural communities in Montana and other states along the pipeline’s path that would benefit from and support the project.”

Who authorized the Keystone XL Pipeline? It was Trump, wasn't it and it was by EO?
I don't know about this one man. This is REAL shaky if Trump authorized the Keystone XL to keep building from an EO because that'd make Trump's EO unlawful. But if that's true, then Obama's EO to stop the pipeline in the first place would unlawful.
It's an EO mess to untangle and you can't say one EO was lawful and the other was not. The best thing they could do in that situation is to say it's ALL unlawful and all EO's are nullified for this and Congress needs to put in a bill to push the pipeline through. At which point, we're fucked because it'll die on the House floor and if it doesn't die there, it'll die on the senate because it needs filibuster approval.
