Regardless of how wrong the 5th circuit decision was in this case, the point was just to highlight that the law doesn't allow the government to circumvent restrictions by going through a third party. Clearly this particular case triggers strong feelings in you, but this is really not at all pertinent to the main point I'm making.
A point hasn't actually been made when the sole example, presented as fact, was a partisan lie that collapsed under extremely basic scrutiny. The decision had nothing to do with this strange notion that the courts err on the side of restraining the government and everything to do with the fact the 5th Circuit [yet again] presumed an alternate reality in order to achieve a Republican policy victory.
