(CNSNews.com) – Critics say the Obama Administration's decision to override a federal court's decision — to allow construction of an oil pipeline in Dakota to continue after an Indian Tribe sought an injunction to halt the project – will hurt working Americans and the economy.
On Friday, U.S. District Judge James E. Boasberg ruled that, after careful consideration, the Standing Rock Sioux tribe "had not demonstrated that an injunction is warranted here," and the pipeline project should contine.
BOSTON — The boisterous rally dubbed "Moral Mondays," in which crowds of progressive activists and liberal clergy members descended upon Beacon Hill to gin up support for a laundry list of "moral" policy stances on issues such as education, criminal justice, climate change and the minimum wage, appeared unified on the surface.
Yet lurking just beneath the veneer of liberal activism, onlookers may have spotted the occasional fracturing in the form of charter school opposition and whether or not all support policies touting welfare cash transfer systems. Likewise, conservatives may question how the group's pro-abortion stances qualify as a "sacred moral principle" and whether raising the minimum wage to $15 will backfire and result in a loss of jobs and increased automation.
