7. The decisions are not inexplicable as to the injunctive relief.

It is intended to be as rare thing, issued only when throwing money at problem after the fact can't solve the problem. Lower courts have been issuing injunctive relief at a rate we've never seen before. It is absolutely not surprising that many of these are being reversed by the higher courts.

But what I was referring to was calling a decision reversing an injunction a decision on the merits. They are two very different things, and the distinction between them is not just a legal nicety.
