Huh. Kinda as if the whole problem is not lack of law enforcement but the ready availability of guns.

Justice Jackson's dissent focuses on her belief that the government has failed to show any harm it suffers as a result of the policy being blocked, while the plaintiffs can show harm if it is in effect.

The conclusion of the dissent, written by Jackson and joined by Sotomayor and Kagan:
The documented real-world harms to these plaintiffs obviously outweigh the Government's unexplained (and inex-plicable) interest in immediate implementation of the Passport Policy. That incongruity is where equity comes in. Because granting the stay application will be "of little ad-vantage" to the Government, Di Giovanni, 296 U.S., at 71, while needlessly and significantly burdening the plaintiffs, equity cannot justify the Court's intervention. But, today, the Court refuses to answer equity's call. In my view, the Court's failure to acknowledge the basic norms of equity jurisdiction is more than merely regrettable. It is an abdication of the Court's duty to ensure that equitable standards apply equally to all litigants-to transgender people and the Government alike.
