"Keystone XL Could Face New Lawsuit From Nebraska Ranchers"

"The Keystone XL tar sands pipeline faces a potential new legal challenge and the prospect of further delays from ranchers along its proposed route in Nebraska who say they “aren’t finished fighting” yet.

The threat of a new lawsuit, delivered in a video ultimatum from the ranchers’ lawyers, is almost certain to extend the saga of the Keystone XL in Nebraska – and in Washington, where open debate was scheduled to begin in the Senate on Monday afternoon ahead of an expected veto threat from Barack Obama.

Days after a ruling from the Nebraska state supreme court seemingly cleared one legal obstacle, lawyers for Keystone XL opponents said the pipeline company could expect to return to court."
