    On the one hand: blaming the GOP directly for this is a bit of a stretch. They stacked and influenced the court, true, but I doubt this kind of reversal was specifically something that party leadership wanted on their 2024 bingo card.

    On the other hand: getting lit up like this in press releases is just desserts for what happened. Maybe next time the GOP will actually try and reign in red states when dumb no-win lawsuits like this get bandied about. Seriously: what the hell were they even thinking other than “let’s kick this hornet nest and see what happens”?
