EPA's Trumped up decision to block oil & gas methane rule was arbitrary & capricious; court grants enviros' motion to vacate EPA "stay."

Court rejected "perverse result" of 1-sided, pro-polluter Pruitt EPA arg. courts may act when EPA doesn't block rules but not when it does.

Oil lobby asked EPA to reconsider rule--based on issues they raised already--& @EPAScottPruitt used that as excuse to illegally block rule.
