The next president could kill it right away. That's true. The point was that the next president will decide the issue one way or another. The recent vote was 4-4, I assume along party lines (though I haven't looked it up). If that's the case it would seem very likely that a Hillary appointed judge would break the tie in favor of the policy.

That was the main gist of what I was trying to say

Cheers
