💨 Abstract
A federal judge blocked Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer's attempt to shut down an aging oil pipeline under the Straits of Mackinac, citing federal regulation of interstate pipeline safety. The pipeline, Line 5, transports oil between Wisconsin and Ontario. The judge ruled that only the federal government can regulate such pipelines, overriding state actions.
