    Honestly I’m surprised the SCOTUS ruled this way. With how clearly activist they’ve been for christian nationalist interests, I kinda expected them to just nuke anything that might hurt the GOP

      Some of SCOTUS was appointed because of their pre-existing views on GOP hot topics. What the GOP is slowly discovering is that this doesn’t always translate to favoring the GOP on everything. Most of SCOTUS still tries to operate within the legal framework, barring the creative interpretations they hold on the topics that got them appointed in the first place.
