        I’m kinda shocked how many people in this thread just made the assumption the court was trying to do the bad thing without even reading the article

          the court was trying to do the bad thing without even reading the article

          I mean, they likely are. Sort of. Remember that the supreme court often picks up a case after a back and forth, and that the previous ‘last stop’ of the case helps determine what’s going on. The previous court had voided the law, and now dump and co. are trying to revive the case. So if the supreme court was fine with overturning the law they could have done so by dint of letting the lower court’s ruling lie.
