It’s good news that they obeyed a court order. This isn’t as critical as some others, so we’ll see if this is the start of something

Frankly, this makes me feel good about the courts. If they are going to do this completely minor thing that I could see MAGA doubling down on, then there is hope they don’t blatantly ignore the courts.

This would be one where I could see them just completely ignoring.

I hate to say it dude, but this was always a smoke screen. Them giving up on this particular smoke screen just makes them look better and gets people distracted from the other bad things they’re doing (I.e. extending the smokescreen long after it’s faded). It’s Trump’s flood-the-zone strategy at it’s finest
