    Nah, more like “we already heard your arguments at the golf club. No reason to listen again, we’re already going to rule in your favor.”

      That’s not how this works and a golf club isn’t a court. This means the lawsuit can proceed. If they had already decided to rule in O&G’s favor on this, they would have done so by hearing the case and making a ruling in their favor.

      This means they’re declining to have the case brought forward before the Supreme Court, effectively ruling against the petro companies. It’s really quite a surprising turn of events.
