Yep, because the point was for Abbott and his goons to flex their authoritarian muscles and chill free speech, not win any cases.

Just look at how they frame the protests as "antisemitic," while welcoming literal Nazis and antisemitic conspiracy theorists into their fascist folds—as if they don't know that criticism of the IDF ≠ hatred of Jews.

At least we have some small comfort that lower-level judges tend to live in reality, instead of GOP Conspiracy Land.
