    I can see where you’re coming from, but we can’t stop fighting for fear of court rulings.

    Courts are only there to interpret laws. A determined legislature should be able to overcome poor court interpretations through enacting laws.

    For example, Dobbs v. Jackson (stripping abortion protections) only nullified Roe v. Wade. Congress could still protect/prohibit abortion rights with the stroke of a pen. Of course, the legislature’s obvious dysfunction is a problem that must be factored in. But I’d also factor in growing resentment in the Supreme Court with each asinine ruling akin to Dobbs they have to make. Make no mistake about it, that enraged and fueled a lot of opposition. Enough of that could lead to stacking the court.

    In this particular case, it seems to be a state issue, so it’s pretty unlikely to make it to the fed Supreme Court anyway. And at least it means that people who likely would be using legal resources for other nefarious means are tied up trying to overturn this one.
