Was about to say that point. Also with McDonnell v. US "official" is read quite broadly that handing the squint to the judiciary just seems again part of the judicial power grab of SCOTUS.

Doesn't that mean that, if the lower courts somehow move fast enough on this, it just gives the SC another chance to intervene and hold things up because they didn't come up with the right test?

Gotta be honest, I skipped straight to the two dissents. Sotomayor and Jackson lay it out well (including this point)
