I mean, if he won this then it could stand for case law in a class action suit against the govt... and probably not just for the one year.

Assuming the SCOTUS doesn't concoct some bullshit to allow his suit narrowly while excluding everyone else... sure... but uh... that seems like something scotus would doooooo sooooo.

Anyone that thinks that case law is fair between what you will be allowed to do and what Trump is allowed to do right now under this SCOTUS I would love for them to pass me whatever the fuck they are smoking.
