We said no to Keystone and now face a court suit.
But we're saying yes to a pipeline project in Kenya ?
Do we plan to ship workers over there for jobs ?

Keystone No, Kenya Pipeline Yes - WSJ
It may not come up in the litigation, but someone should point out that the same Obama Administration that rejected Keystone seems to have no problem supporting a new oil pipeline project in Africa.
That was the story last week out of Kenya, where U.S. Ambassador Robert Godec told Kenya’s energy minister that Washington would help Nairobi raise $18 billion to finance its PowerAfrika project. The pipeline would stretch from Kenya’s Rift Valley to Lamu on the coast. “Kenya needs $18 billion worth of financing,” Mr. Godec said, according to a dispatch in Oilprice.com, “so one of the questions we are discussing is how we can work together with the private sector and governments to raise that sum, to find ways to make certain that this financing becomes available.”
Liberal Logic: Pipeline in US that we don't have to pay for with tax $ and would bring in tax revenue = NO, let Canada send the oil to be refined in China with more pollution emission or send it more dangerously by train to Texas.
Pipeline project in Africa that will cost US tax payers money = YES!
Think of this (and all the other criminal expenditures) next time some govt schill tells you americans aren't taxed enough, or taxes are purposeful, or our govt does good works with the money it swipes from our paychecks

Where in the constitution does it grant the authority to do this?

This is probably nothing, right?
Kenya Pipeline MD Tanui charged with abuse of office
Mr Tanui was charged alongside the company’s chief engineer Josphat Kipkoech Sirma and chief technical manager Elias Maina Karumi. They all denied the charges and were released on a cash bail of Sh700,000.
The case is scheduled for mention on November 30, 2015 when a hearing date will be set.
Suspended Kenya Pipeline Company (KPC) managing director Charles Tonui has become the latest senior government official to be charged with abuse of office in the ongoing war on graft.
Mr Tonui was accused of irregularly awarding a Sh29 million contract for installation of autotransformers as the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission and the Director of Public Prosecutions stepped up the fight against grand corruption facing the Jubilee administration.
The four joined the growing list of senior government officials who have been charged with corruption-related offences this week.
I will, and will be voting for those politicians, Keystone had very little benefit for the US and would have been taking land from private owners.
