There’s a lot of citations throughout that can be skipped over.

Compelling rebuttal. So, you're saying you skimmed it?

edit: was meant in jest, my apologies.

Not what I'm saying at all. There are certainly parts that I read more lightly than others, because they had to do with what the district court did and said (as well as other background and history I'm already familiar with), and I'd already read that. The three dissenting opinions are at the end; the majority opinion addressed every single misplaced concern in those, so those weren't terribly demanding (or well written), either.

When I had the thought of my original comment here, it's because I'd read it, and I was only confident to make such a comment because I'd read it.

There's not a ton I can say to "prove" anything to anyone here, but I am the person who made a place for posting such documents, which should indicate my interest. This ruling is one of the most important court rulings in American history. I saw the articles talking about it, went to documentcloud to find it, posted it, settled in to read it.
