Just read that story & it doesn't sound like the Biden Administration went to federal court, but environmental groups did to STOP the Interior Department (part of the dreaded Biden Administration, play ominous background music here) from granting oil drilling leases in the Gulf.
Granted, originally the Biden Administration was averse to granting those leases but appears to been resigned to it after losing an ealier case. In fact, the "Friends of the Earth" appear ready to file more legal actions stop future Interior Department leases.
"The fight is not over," said Hallie Templeton, legal director at Friends of the Earth. "We will continue to hold the Biden administration accountable for making unlawful decisions that contradict its pledge to take swift, urgent action on 'code red' climate and environmental justice priorities."
