RE:Gov. Whitmer Seeks Shutdown Of Great Lakes Oil PipelineI can't wait to see the evidence supporting this claim presented in court. It will almost certainly be thrown out. Each successive unsubstantiated claim that ties up courts and is struck down for lack of evidence tests the court justices' tolerance and patience. Each such lawsuit that abuses the court system narrows scope for future lawsuits, erodes good-will afforded to the plaintiffs, and increases the odds that the defendant will succeed in getting future cases dismissed outright without hearings. So go ahead governor and attorney general, keep on raising new challenges. Soon enough you won't even get to trial.
