I am reading through the decision now. Here is a remarkable quote from the decision (page 6)

“Those decisions are entrusted to our Nation’s elected leaders, who can be thrown out of office if the people disagree with them. It is not our job to protect the people from the consequences of their political choices.”

Full decision found here:

NICE! So they deflect it onto the citizen voter as a consequence of political choice vs. what it really is: the consequence of bad law (i.e. clearly unconstitutional law) and the court’s inability to call it as such. No intestinal fortitude whatsoever there comrades, you have been taught well - it’s always someone else’s fault.
