    Mild annoyance. People are also annoyed at the asskissing of Trump in the shutdown message, given that he wanted it shut down last time he was president. IMO people will just move on to whatever else.

    I don’t really understand why the Supreme Court ruled that this is legal in the first place.

      Because they don’t answer “political questions”, they check for contradictions against the constitution, and they don’t (in their opinion) think there’s any conflicts with the constitution.

      Congress could pass a law banning Pizza, and it would be constitutional, however stupid it is.

        Yeah, IMO it’s a constitutional question. I’m coming at it from the EFF’s side:

        We are deeply disappointed that the Court failed to require the strict First Amendment scrutiny required in a case like this, which would’ve led to the inescapable conclusion that the government’s desire to prevent potential future harm had to be rejected as infringing millions of Americans’ constitutionally protected free speech.
