"Not very long ago, this Court treaded carefully with respect to exercising its equitable power to issue injunctive relief at the request of a party claiming an emergency." KBJ whinging about this in the wake of AARP is like Whitehouse carping on the filibuster: pure chutzpah.

The dissents in Skrmetti today will probably age about as well as SCOTUS's 1927 pro-sterilization/pro-eugenics opinion in Buck v. Bell. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buck_v._B…
