- Religious exception rulings apply only to the plaintiffs.
- Environmental regulations continue to be enforced despite rulings against them (just not against plaintiffs).
- and on and on.
The left has to use this decision, not just criticize it.
It'll be chaos, but that's what the Justices get.

- Go back into Judge Kaczmaryk's court to dissolve all of his nationwide orders.
- Pass gun bans and insist any order applies only to plaintiffs.

Can we talk for a minute about how weird the cello in Good Vibrations sounds? Like it's closer to some gnarled, distorted guitar (run through a messy, choppy delay) than a regular cello. I don't know if it's just where it's placed in the mix or what.
