That appears to be precisely backwards.

To: lepton
I'm not speaking to the text of ruling, I'm speaking to the effectiveness of the complaint.

We have a body of delegates who are putting themselves above the people, declaring that their right to vote their conscience is more important then the right of the people of the state to bind their representatives to the majority's wishes.

For political reasons, the court is tampering with the Republican primary process in a way that invites chaos instead of remedy; it's not the delegate who was harmed when they knew in advance what their obligation was, it's the primary voter who is harmed by the faithless delegate who wishes to nullify the results of primary.

So I say that the delegate, in the case of a candidate achieving the majority, is an anachronism no longer serving a purpose in the nominating process. The court is forcing the wishes of the delegate onto the voter, when properly the wishes of the voter should be forced onto the delegate (which was the current state).

The court is just trying to disrupt and mess with the Republicans, because it can.
