Here's this week's Left of Lansing "Friday Short."
Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel's office argued in a federal appellate court that the fight to shut down the Line 5 oil pipeline belongs in a state court, and not in federal court.
Enbridge, which owns the pipeline, argues that due to U.S.-Canadian treaty from 1977 means the battle ought to remain in federal court.
But why isn't the Michigan Republican Party joining in Nessel's effort to protect Michigan's rights to protect herself against a foreign oil company?
Republicans argue Texas has the right to protect its border, and their laws should override federal immigration laws due to "states' rights."
Doesn't Michigan have the same right to protect itself from a Canadian oil company possibly doing economic and environmental harm to her?
