This SCOTUS decision isn't that bad nor does hurt us. After the news broke out I became a Doomer but after doing a bit of reading and research, imo it isn't that shit of a decision. They didn't deny that what Pennsylvania and other states did was unconstitutional and had no grounds. They just said it didn't have the right standings therefore denying the opportunity for another state to intervene in another states affairs on the ground that it doesn't directly affect them. Some of you guys viewed this is throwing out the constitution but had they ruled in TX favor, it would have opened the door for a bad precedent. States would be allowed to constantly sue each other for doing something they feel is unconstitutional and indirectly affects them which would be devastating. Imagine if a state banned trans in womens sports and all the blue states jumped on a bandwagon and suing that state for doing something they felt was wrong. Essentially, it would put SCOTUS in charge of what laws are allowed in each state. Furthermore, remember that Trump said he was readying cases for SCOTUS which he is in the process of doing. TX wasn't in Trump's plan but instead was a random act of courage from their AG. Also, we can still win with SCOTUS if we have the right standings.

In reality the texas thing was good. It gives the media and the left something to focus on and talk about while we make moves in the shadows. Effectively a big misdirection on our behalf that we didn't even ask for, but will happily accept.
