Enbridge Energy, LP v. Nessel · ¶14

The Governor moved to remand her case to state court, arguing that the case did not raise a significant federal issue. Soon after, the Government of Canada submitted amicus flings arguing that shutting down Line 5 would implicate a 1977 treaty between Canada and the United States and impair foreign relations between the two countries. On November 16, 2021, the District Court denied the Governor's motion to remand, concluding that federal-question jurisdiction was satisfied because the claims necessarily implicated substantial federal questions under two federal statutes and the 1977 treaty. The Governor voluntarily dismissed her lawsuit not long after that ruling.
