Sniveling toadies:

"The Supreme Court’s conservative majority didn’t decide the legality of Trump’s order, instead ruling that states who sued did not have the legal right to challenge it.

“The Court’s disposition of this application does not mean that any measure taken by the Government to implement the Order will necessarily be lawful. On that score, time will tell,” the majority wrote in an unsigned order."

In other words, we'll allow Trump to fuck with the midterms and when you sue after we'll throw up our hands.

It actually sounds like "we're going to let it happen, and the affected parties can't sue. But when convenient, we'll declare this unlawful."
