Transcanda sues US under NAFTA arbitration

CALGARY/WASHINGTON (Reuters) - TransCanada Corp sued the U.S government on Wednesday to reverse President Barack Obama's rejection of the Keystone XL pipeline, and also plans to seek $15 billion in damages from a trade tribunal.

TranCanada's lawsuit in a federal court in Houston, Texas, called rejection of its permit to build the pipeline unconstitutional. In a separate action under the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), the company said the pipeline permit denial was "arbitrary and unjustified."
Wow, the perfect intersection of so many issues from last year. Groups made such a stink about arbitration in TPP and here is their nightmare scenario.

Of course, if the US did capriciously stop a foreign business for political gain, they should pay the restitution or exist as a trade pariah. You can't have it both ways.
