CASPER, Wyo. (AP) The federal government has argued that the U.S. Supreme Court should not take up a lawsuit in Wyoming over a blocked coal export terminal because the company behind the proposal is bankrupt and won’t be building the project.
U.S. Solicitor General Elizabeth Prelogar argued in a brief that there is no legal controversy for the high court to consider because the Millennium Bulk Terminal project won’t proceed, The Casper Star-Tribune reported Wednesday.
The proposed terminal’s parent company Lighthouse Resources Inc. declared bankruptcy in December. It then failed to find an interested buyer for the terminal.

Wyoming state senator and congressional candidate Anthony Bouchard said he impregnated a 14-year-old when he was 18 and living in Florida.
Bouchard told the Casper Star Tribune that he and the girl rejected pressure to have an abortion and married when he was 19 and she was 15. He said on social media that it was like a Romeo and Juliet story. They remained married for three years. He said she later committed suicide.
Bouchard is hoping to defeat Liz Cheney in next year s Republican primary for the U.S. House. He said on social media that he went public when he heard that someone was looking into the story for political reasons.

January 6 changed Liz Cheney.
While she hadn t been a big fan of Donald Trump for his four years in office, the riot he helped incite at the US Capitol that day convinced the Wyoming Republican that she needed to speak out more forcefully. The President of the United States summoned this mob, assembled the mob, and lit the flame of this attack, she said soon after the insurrection. Everything that followed was his doing. She was one of 10 House Republicans to vote to impeach Trump which ultimately led to her ouster as the third-ranking Republican in the House.
