This didn’t make it that far in the lower courts—”thrown out” to me means that it wasn’t considered at all.
I would assume so.

Sure makes you think about voting for senate rinos. One more lib on the SC spells doom.
So Awesome!
Not the kill-shot for public employee mafia, but a hell of a knee-capping!!
