Still a long way to go...*side-eye to North Carolina* but having the POTUS' support is a step in the right direction.

I hear there is a case making its way to the Supreme Court. I think the SCOTUS will take the case and rule in favor if it.

It is s big step in the right direction, Mr President. Good job.
