    Earlier in the year SCOTUS was making many decisions I would call liberal. Or, at worst, allowing lower court decisions to ride. It was so surprising that I started a bookmark list, 28 at the moment.

    Then they went bug fuck nuts, haven’t added to the list in weeks, if not months. What happened!? Were they trying to lull us into believing they weren’t so conservative? Did they stack the docket to slam dunk this shit through in one stretch?

      This was simply affirming the preliminary injunction until it can be fully litigated. On that, the entire SCOTUS was unanimous. This isn’t so much a decision on a case as it is a decision to wait for a decision on the case (and not enforce it until it’s legality has been determined).

      Obviously I don’t agree with the lawsuits, but the SCOTUS isn’t affirming the lawsuits. They’re simply saying that a determination needs to be made before the law can go into effect.
