But we think you haven't shown redressability.
00:02
But I think that the reason for that was a combination of two things.
00:05
One was what Justice Sotomayor said, that they were mistaken about the end date of the regulation.
00:14
The other, honestly, was that you didn't put on much evidence.
00:19
And here, too, your sort of common sense inference, it is a common sense inference,
00:24
but if it's such a common sense inference, it should be easy to put on evidence.
00:28
And here, there wasn't a lot of it.
00:31
So, Justice Kagan, I don't think that's fair.
00:35
We had an on-point decision from the D.C. Circuit dealing with this very industry, fuel producers.
00:39
We had our own declarations.
00:41
We had California's expert declarations filed after we brought this case.
00:45
So when California intervened, if you look at pages 110 and 115 of the J.A.,
00:49
California put in declarations from two CARB experts.
00:52
And in both of them, their own experts, these are not statements of the brief.
00:56
I agree with you.
00:57
I think it would be easy to read those declarations back to California and say,
01:01
what do you make of those?
01:03
But your side didn't really make that argument.
01:06
Well, we pointed to our declarations.
01:08
We pointed to California's statement in 2021 at page 66 of the J.A.
01:13
saying, these standards are critical, their word, to reducing fuel consumption.
01:17
We pointed to EPA's statements in adopting the waiver, saying they need their own standards.
01:21
We pointed to the intervener automaker's admission, saying, hey, we've invested a lot in electrification.
01:27
If you don't make them meet the same standard, we might be at a, quote, competitive disadvantage.
01:32
And I guess my point back, Justice Skiggin, is, look.
01:35
I think my point to you is surely if that's all in the record, you deserve to go forward.
01:40
Oh, I agree.
01:42
I agree.
