Sorry, I meant to say that K had no role in the SCOTUS decision not to hear the case. He did write an opinion on the case in the appeals court.
“The decision to pass on the case, announced during Kavanaughs first day as an associate justice”
FakeNewsMSM all report this story as if Kavanaugh was on the job at the time. however note what even Reuters has reported:
9 Oct: Daily Caller: Michael Bastasch: US Supreme Court Rejects Appeals Of Brett Kavanaugh Opinion Striking Down An Obama-Era Global Warming Rule
The justices privately made the decision to not rehear the case before Kavanaugh joined the high court Tuesday, Reuters reported...
However, the high court decided not to hear appeals to the HFC decision before Kavanaugh joined the court on Tuesday

I knew what you meant. I realized he did issue an opinion prior to this, hence the SCOTUS more or less rubber stamping his opinion.
