How does this ruling affect EPD?
It would be reasonable for an appeals court (the next step in this affair) to allow a stay, because the judge who issued the ruling :
1. Used only examples of non-operating pipelines to justify his decision.
2. Might not have the legal power to order the shutdown.
3. Did not fully consider the wide-ranging economic damage that a shutdown would bring.
