The correct initial response to just about every legal question that could conceivably be asked is "that depends."
The only two areas I see people playing expert without expertise in any regularity are (1) global warming, and (2) law. The former is politicized, the latter necessarily affects everyone. I suppose there are other people playing expert regarding environmental policy generally.
But here's the bottom line: even the vast majority of lawyers will not have a direct simple answer to this. To the extent they might express an opinion worth listening to, it will be through a mixture of reframing, argument, paraphrase of the relevant cases, some quotations, and citations to other cases.
In other words, I know that you don't care what I'm sick of,
but I'm ****ing sick to death of watching people without any legal training or experience sound off on what the correct decision was in a case.
This isn't a defense of the ruling. I'd have to read the ruling. I'd have to read the papers filed. I might even need to inspect the record. It takes a tremendous amount of work to produce an answer you can be truly confident in. Maybe it's a terrible order, maybe it's not.
Because I didn't make a claim, I'm not to be called to answer. But you claimed.

I'm not agreeing nor disputing directly, though I am dubious. What controlling precedent are you relying on? If there is none, what's your argument by analogy?
PS: "I read the constitution" is
not a legal argument. "The constitution says these words that I'm quoting, and I announce that they mean such-and-such" is not a legal argument. Delve into the caselaw.
Don't want to? Fine. I wouldn't expect it. But what I would love to happen is that anyone who so much as says they give a **** about this stuff to pick a modern appellate court decision. I say modern because more and more stuff is available free online, when before you'd have to pay copies. Get as much as what you can get: appellate briefs, watch the oral argument if any, available free trial court filings, cases (often available online for free through various state/fed government sites now). Read it all. Hundreds of pages, thousands of pages, perhaps tens of thousands.
Seriously.
Read it all. Then think about how sure you can really be that you got the one right answer.
