I notice he stuck to the legality…the “right” to build it.
Not many really argue with that. The primary argument has been whether it’s the right thing to do.

The “right” thing to do? By whose measure?

I’d like to turn the question around. Is it the “right” thing to do to protest so loudly about this particular project, when there would most likely be absolutely no protest whatsoever over a project by anybody else?

I trust our way of life, and our Constitutional protections. We cannot make exceptions; once that way has been paved, the next “exception”, the next thing to go by the wayside, may be YOU or something you have an interest in.
