KBJ’s dissent in the injunction deserves to be canonical. I’ll confess I find it extremely irritating that the majority says, in effect, they don’t get it. “What’s going on there. Why is she being weird. We’re doing law here.” She is smarter and knows more about law than they do.

centrists constantly complain about the left being insufficiently partisan and then line up behind a Democrat who handed the state Senate to Republicans and then gerrymandered the state to their benefit
