"TransCanada
was forced to stop using eminent domain for private gain by the Nebraska courts
and the landowners who have the courage to stand up to a foreign

Last month, a Nebraska Supreme Court
decision approved
a route for the proposed Keystone XL pipeline through the state.
That decision effectively allowed TransCanada, the pipeline company, to begin
issuing eminent domain papers to landowners in the way. But a fresh
lawsuit brought by nearly
70 landowners has spurred a Nebraska
judge to halt TransCanada’s eminent domain proceedings, the Huffington
Post reported Thursday.
“TransCanada sees the writing on the wall,” Jane Kleeb, director of Bold Nebraska, a group fighting

injunction. “Nebraska
landowners are not going to cave to their threats and we will now see them in
our Supreme Court to finally get clarity on the legality of a foreign
corporation using eminent domain for private gain.”
The injunction temporarily bars TransCanada from forcing any holdout

landowners included in the lawsuit.
