Supreme Cowards of the United States.

What a spineless, worthless crew of "conservatives" we have on the court.

Good - States are supposed to be sovereign. Let the State deal with it.

SCOTUS Justices: It’s all that complicated, messy legal stuff again. Too scary to have to untangle it all and make a firm, decisive ruling on it. Is it vacation recess time yet?

So SCOTUS decided that individual freedoms aren't more important then Government tyranny?

Great, when they hear the 2nd amendment case they'll probably find that Americans possessing firearms is illegal.

The Supreme Court doesn’t even have the authority to rule on matters that are entirely based on State law.

I agree, This is a state matter all the way. If you think your governor sucks then vote him out.

Interestingly, the ruling was published in Mandarin Chinese.

It actually is far more complicated than the average lay person realizes.

If there isn’t a substantial federal question, then SCOTUS doesn’t have the authority to rule.

For matters of interpretation based solely on a State Constitutional provision, the State Supreme Court is the highest authority, not SCOTUS.

There have to be some standards.

I’ll welcome any relief the SCOTUS can give the decent
people of California.

The Left should only be able to go so far. Right now
they know no limits, including the Founding Documents.

This was on an appeal to the original decision.

Exactly, this is a political battle within the individual states, let the people within their states battle out those political questions. Unfortunately many people here don’t want Constitutional rulings from the USSC, they just want ideological rulings that favor our side.

Start laws can't be unconstitutional?

"...conservatives..."

So-called conservatives... Spineless indeed!
This refusal to address the issue simply identifies them as deep-state tools...

Mark Levin has spoken extensively about the Supreme Court.
His book, “Men in Black” outlines how SCOTUS is destroying America...

Useless lazy institution. Just came off a three month vacation. Cut their salaries by 25%. Can redeem themselves with righteous decisions.

Don't know the specifics of the Baker case, but if the governor's so-called authority oversteps the Constitution, then it is those who support Baker's actions who don't want constitutional rulings.

Doesn’t work.
