That's exactly right. The SC does not want to deal with the personal and political blowback of taking a stand, so they've refused to hear the case on a technicality.
Fundamentally, what this does is, it enshrines "one rule for me, one rule for thee" as a legal principle. It says that entire states can shred the Constitution and other states can't do anything about it. So what does the Constitution mean now? Practically, it means nothing.
One thought that occurs to me, it opens up a huge can of worms for liberals because what's to stop red states from rejecting all gun control laws, or banning illegal immigrants, or confiscating all properties of big tech companies, or banning the FBI from their borders on the grounds that the FBI is a traitor organization? Well nothing, pretty much, from what I can see. If lawlessness is the left's game plan now, well, let's see if TWO can play.
That requires our side to stop playing by the rules.
That's a pretty big ask, since we were all raised to play by the rules, unlike the "ends justify the means" and moral relativism attitudes prevalent in the left.
