I hate to be a wet blanket, but this victory, while positive, is rather meagre. It establishes that certain hairdressers have the government's permission, but doesn't challenge the government's right to require such permission.

Excellent point. You are correct.

But it does show that liberals love to harass small business owners, and that they don't care about the little guy.

Sometimes small achievable steps are worth a lot more than large unachievable attempts to step that only fall back to a starting positions. Also, if used, the cause of these particular hair braiders, can have an outreach potential to bring new ideas to those who would otherwise not bother listening. But for this latter to work, the fight for their cause would have to have been going on for a long time with many failures on its journey. I don't think that was the case here.

At any rate, I'd say your slight critique hit the nail on the head. It seems that nothing of any importance was accomplished.
