The US Supreme Court will be hearing oral arguments in a case to determine if the Atlantic Coast Pipeline can cross the Appalachian trail. This is the first time in years that a pipeline case has been heard. This is a challenge of pipeline companies' right to claim a "public necessity" to take private land through eminent domain.
