Jan 2022

The court placed an injunction on Biden's pause.

That means the thing injuncted can't happen.

That means the pause for any appeals couldn't happen. With no pause, the sale had to go forward.

Biden's people slow-walked it. Only 1.7 of 80 million got sold.

Exactly. I just posted a quickie explanation below in post #2 BumRushDaShow Jan 2022 #3

Yes - I got that (posted a number of times in the thread) BumRushDaShow Jan 2022 #34

Yes the headline stinks and some people here have run with it without reading. . . . nt Bernardo de La Paz Jan 2022 #42

I don't think so. former9thward Jan 2022 #6

They WERE forced. They DID appeal. They lost the appeal. Enviros won a NEW case. WaPo says! Bernardo de La Paz Jan 2022 #28

Think again. Courts ORDERED sale to go ahead Nov 2021. WaPo article Jan 27, 2022. . . nt Bernardo de La Paz Jan 2022 #30
