The law is pretty well settled on this. They’re going to waste a lot of tax dollars trying to defend the policy and lose.

They’re gonna think it’s not about the money, but sending a message (that can easily get defeated with the laws as they are now)

the rights goal would be to get it to the SC while they are captured by the federalist society. Which will side with extremist terrorist christians..

I'm not so so convinced they would. Roberts would almost assuredly side with the 1st amendment. Kavanaugh has been pretty much center thus far. Could see him siding with the ACLU as well.

I think this slightly downplays the fact that Roberts and Kavanaugh are partisan hacks

I do agree, but there seems to have been some decisions that would have run counter to what we would have expected some super-conservative Supreme Court to rule on

That's true enough, I suppose I just have no faith in either to be honorable.
