Different lawsuit.This ruling was after Biden approved Willow.
Because the judge couldn't find the same reasons for which it was blocked earlier, exemptions were made to protect the imperiled parts.

So we are going to look at Trump admin's history?
Trump blocked payment of a congressionally mandated $400 million military aid package in an attempt to obtain quid pro quo cooperation from Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
I am sure he won't do this again.
Point is Trumps approval was blocked and this lawsuit only happened because Biden approved it.
We/Ukraine weren't at war with Russia at the time.The people in power has never let The US back down from Russia,they wont let Trump do it.
Once the lease is approved by Trump, its illegal to deny permits.
The leases are basically a contract and if the Biden administration denied the permits, essentially breached the contract, without what a court considered a valid argument, a judge would likely find in favor of the company, Mr. Leshy said. It would be unusual for a court to simply order the government to issue permits; more likely a judge would award damages, he said.
That figure could include not just compensation for investments ConocoPhillips has already made but also profits that the company could have gotten if it had been allowed to drill, Mr. Leshy said, putting a potential judgment into the billions of dollars.
Ms. Murkowski said she believed the legal argument was the turning point for Mr. Biden. “There was no way around the fact that these were valid existing lease rights,” she said. “The administration was going to have to deal with that reality.”

It was no longer approved after the court overruled it.
Same judge approved it after the two issues in the permit were addressed, just because permits are rejected doesn't mean the lease rights cease to exist.
Biden had to approve it for it to get back to him.Bottom line is Biden lied and fucked climate voters and he will feel their wrath in 2024.
