The headlines are "court sides with NRA!" which fits the ongoing "illegitimate court" narrative for progressives because the NRA is unpopular. (Partly owing to "ew! guns!" and partly owing to other, unrelated legal trouble growing out of NRA leaders embezzling + offering an illegal insurance product.) But... this was about whether a government official could threaten arbitrary regulatory action against a firm's customers/vendors/partners because of that firm's constitutionally-protected advocacy. (And whether that had in fact happened in this case. 9-0 it did.)
And if you're the kind of person who is set off by that and can't abide NRA having a win, I'd ask if you want your favorite progressive advocacy organization to be able to have a bank account and an insurance policy in Texas and Florida.
This was not a close call or earth-shattering case.
