If the court refuses to hear it, then it is inherently a political matter. It sucks that we can't have the law enforced normally, but that means you have to win the issue politically through getting your faction in and attacking other factions in the system. Armed conflict is still not necessary; and is actually one of the primary goals of the establishment at this case.
Given that the issue was original jurisdiction for SCOTUS, it is an abdication of their responsibility; but contrasted with what they've normally done for the past 200 years (making unchallengeable law that provokes armed conflict because a political solution is no longer possible due to judicial interference), that is at least a workable result for the rest of us.
You don't want there to be lots of SCOTUS judges. You want to keep them very few. The Progressive Left has argued for many decades now that the Senate and SCOTUS should be reformed into being turned into an identical body like the House of Representatives: several hundred purely partisan political individuals elected by a general election. Although the courts are partisan at the moment, there are ways to reform it, and ways to make it worse. That is one of the ways to make it work.
Not hearing a case, like not overturning a law (which it never was given the authority to do), is actually a critical component to keeping the judiciary from being a purely partisan political structure which we have managed to turn it into. If the court can't help but effectively turn a political decision into a constitutional amendment, then they shouldn't be ruling on it at all.
It's an excellent lecture on, among other things, the FBI and its history of infiltrating political organizations on both ends of the spectrum. Barnes is especially good on FBI operations of the Jan 6 tourist mill-around known as an "insurrection" and the Whitmer fake kidnapping scheme and the malfeasance of the last Presidential election.
That's literally the opposite of true.

Saw part of this speech this morning by Robert Barnes, the lawyer who occasionally speaks on the Viva Frei podcast: https://freedomlibrary.hillsdale.edu/programs/national-leadership-seminar-irving-texas/the-corruption-of-the-fbi

Thanks, I'll watch that, but I wasn't talking about the FBI.
