IMO this is no surprise.
The legal system requires mediation as part of the process before going to Court. The two parties are so far apart that it was unlikely that there would be a settlement so the result is no surprise to me.
In Court, ENB has a strong case and so Whitmer is just grandstanding. The last two times Biden went to Michigan, Whitmer was nowhere to be seen. She has no political support from Washington on this issue. She just wants to drag this thing out long to get re-elected.
