Again, that is YOUR opinion. But, that isn’t how I read those cases. On one case, Cruz asked for the case to be remanded back to the state, and they did - that is a win. Although you and several others consider that a loss.
To me, a partial win at the Supreme Court, is a win.
I don’t really have an opinion. I researched the court cases and the findings are listed by the SC as for the plaintiff or for the defendant so its pretty straight forward.
