UPPER MICHIGAN - Ten tribal nations have filed a brief urging the U.S. Supreme Court to reject Enbridge’s Line 5 Project and shut the pipeline down.  Enbridge’s Line 5 is before the U.S. Supreme Court, accused of “underhanded procedural tactics” in relation to a previous lawsuit filed against it. It stems from a 2019 lawsuit filed by Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel (D).  The suit sought to shut down the Line 5 dual pipelines that run through the Straits of Mackinac. More than two years past the legal deadline, Enbridge attempted to move the case to federal court.  The federal district court accepted the case, but the U.S. Court of Appeals sent it back to the state court. Enbridge asked the Supreme Court to intervene.  Environmentalists want the pipeline shut down saying it poses a risk to the Great Lakes.  Enbridge say the project poses no environmental risks.
