“Justice” #ClarenceThomas explained that the #oil company had cleared the bar required to move the case into federal court because the lawsuit dealt with oil production in #Louisiana dating back to WWII, when #Chevron refined crude oil into aviation #gasoline for the #US #military.

He wrote that Chevron had shown that its #wartime production of crude oil related to its wartime aviation-gasoline refining for the military, a #federal priority.
