The State Department, by tradition and rule, reviews those requests for permits and was in the process of doing just that when the Republicans forced us to deny it because they tried to compel the administration to grant a permit to a pipeline for which the route didn’t even exist. Which was obviously was not the right thing to do,” Carney said.
