    SCOTUS is insane but they pick and choose when to be insane. Don’t assume all cases will go a given way

    The judge who just put a temporary injunction was even a Ronald Regan appointee

      I’d think the only way they’d rule against him would be to say “Interpreting the Constitution is our job, not yours.” But then they’d maintain the interpretation under their branding.

        The right wing SCOTUS has ruled against more directly against Trump before, and has done so recently. For instance, he called for them to block the TikTok law, and they ruled 9-0 the other way.

        Or they also might just not pick up the case. SCOTUS often just lets rulings like this happen by letting the lower court rulings stand

        Every fight is worth having
