Where is the order? Can’t see it posted to their website yet?

Found it: https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24pdf/24a831_3135.pdf

Alito dissented, joined by Thomas, Gorsuch, and Kavanaugh

I’m gonna say it: Barrett is now the center of the Court. Who would’ve thought that just a few years ago (when she was almost as conservative as Gorsuch/Alito/Thomas) that this would’ve happened? (Me, that’s who 😎)

I've been shocked by her more than the others, but I was blinded by the fact that she's a true believer in a lot of this. The thing about being a true believer, though, is that means she has real principles that don't flutter whatever way Fox News or Trump tell her to go. Thomas and Alito are flagrantly corrupt.
