If you actually took the time to read the decision, the decision was mostly unanimous and didn't decide on the merits of the case, it basically sent the case back to the original court to have better evidence presented. Stupid decision (it's yet another 'kick the can down the road' opinion by the SCotUS), but honestly the case will probably be back in the Supreme Court again. roberts wrote the majority opinion. kagan specifically wrote that the court needed to take up the responsibility of rendering a verdict on these cases, despite voting with the majority. the verdict seems to be mostly for show. a liberal majority seems almost certain to have actually heard the case. but yes you are correct: it was a kick the can down the road decision, which is functionally a win for the GOP. it could have influenced the 2018 midterms. --- And when the hourglass has run out, eternity asks you about only one thing: whether you have lived in despair or not. <cite>Darkman124 posted [p:903497530] in USC rules ...
