MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Friends Animals v. Romero, 948 F.3d 579 (2nd Cir. 2020):
The scope of judicial review is accordingly narrow. "The only role for a court is to insure that the agency has taken a hard look at [the] environmental consequences; it cannot interject itself within the area of discretion of the executive as to the choice of the action to be taken." Kleppe v. Sierra Club , 427 U.S. 390, 410 n.21, 96 S.Ct. 2718, 49 L.Ed.2d 576 (1976) (internal quotation marks omitted).
