when I started reading this, I was thinking "what's his point, which side is he taking?"

I realized after reading through to the end, that this is what old-school reporting used to look like at places like "The New York Times, a former newspaper."

He extracts the key points that judges on both sides of the argument made, and presented them cogently.

Leaving his opinion to the end : 'this is just the start.'

I do have a beef about folks when they say "the pandemic caused businesses to be shut down." The state - not the virus - made decisions to shut down businesses. They designated certain businesses as 'essential,' with little exposure into the decision making process.

In my state, the gov decided that the state run alcohol stores were 'essential.' But not locally run bike shops which'd have tuned up old bikes, gotten folks outside and exercising.

The bigoted rhetoric of Judge Donald is a perfect example of why the door to unconstitutional bigotry and racism should never have been opened in the first place via affirmative action. The cancerous notion that we should judge people differently based on the color of their skin is something that every decent, moral person should reject and abhor. The fraying fabric of our society is destined to be completely torn apart as more racists and woke zealots, like Judge Donald, find their way into positions of power.
