Dems should weaponize today's SCOTUS decision


The left better start figuring out how to weaponize today's decision rather than just (rightfully) criticizing it.

- Go back into Judge Kaczmaryk's court to dissolve all of his nationwide orders.

- Pass gun bans and insist any order applies only to plaintiffs.

- Religious exception rulings apply only to the plaintiffs.

- Environmental regulations continue to be enforced despite rulings against them (just not against plaintiffs).

- and on and on.

The left has to use this decision, not just criticize it.

It'll be chaos, but that's what the Justices get.

If the question is to decide the constitutionality of an EO when it gets to SCOTUS, then the injunction's going to be a bit different than if the question is whether a particular injunction is applicable to just the plaintiffs.

I suspect that Sotomayor/Jackson were in part miffed because while the court mostly narrowly tailors its verdict, as it did today, but in the last decade has expanded the question when it suited the court. Today, had a question and it answered just that question, the question many would like to have had asked.
