So are you saying Chin gave his best legal shot, or do you think he’ll come back with something stronger?
The lawyer was Katyal, although I'm sure he and Chin see eye to eye on strategy. They were greedy with his proposed remedy, which if granted, would have been a District Court "rewrite" of the SCOTUS order.
In their defense, it's easy to label the first approach as greedy, with the benefit of hindsight. Now that the District and appellate courts have shown their hand, it will easy for Katyal to compose a suit that the District Court can't dodge with the same rationale it used this time around.
Also in their defense, might as well go for broke the first time. It doesn't taint the effort going forward, just makes it more complex and expensive, because they have to sue for each little broadening they have in mind.
Following on, a new suit was filed in the Hawaii District Court yesterday.
