One last note about yesterday's Supreme Court decision on vote-by-mail. Much online attention is focused on the outrageousness of Alito/Thomas' dissent (and it's indeed outrageously off the mark). But nothing about their dissent is particularly surprising. They ALWAYS do this lately, siding with the administration, facts and law be damned.
But they lost. Much more significant is the fact that the other seven justices disagreed with them and upheld the injunction.
