    If Alito can solo allow the ratfucking in Texas to occur, then Justice Jackson can absolutely decline any appeals to the California ruling I would think.

      The problem is that Jackson is acting in good faith while Alito is not. I can’t actually blame her for that. We can’t prevent the destruction of the rule of law by disregarding the rule of law when it is inconvenient for us. There are a lot of areas where we need to break with conventional and tradition because of bad faith, but the actual law should not be one of them.
