There was harm, but not I think in the way the supreme court is looking for. Even Alito and Thomas are saying they would not grant relief, though the case was in their original jurisdiction. Let Trump's team get a case up where there is standing, where citizens were directly harmed by their own state (citizen v state, not state v state). Then, I believe they will see the standing they're looking for. In either case, now is not the time for dooming. Yeesh, faithless. Most everyone was so gung-ho over ACB, and now even Thomas and Alito are getting hate? Faithless. What the hell is going on with people?

Their priority is in maintaining the rule of law, meaning gov't that obeys rules placed upon it, meaning the constitution. If they abandon that as well, the country IS screwed. We have a strict constitutional majority. They do not choose who is harmed and who is not. They do not make any decision they want. They go by what the constitution allows them, and in this case the standing was not enough to warrant taking the case. How strongly you feel about it doesn't change that. Trump's actual team (Sidney included) is still rolling along. This case came out a week ago and went nowhere, and you're ready to throw in the towel? Go to sleep. Take a nap. Look at where we've been, what we've done, and what things are still rolling along. This case was superhyped as a silver bullet. The ONE THING that can win the day, though it was not. Now that it's failed it makes sense that you're feeling doomy. Now is the time to recover, focus on what Trump's team continues to do in spite of your defeatist attitude.
