5. until another court shoots it down..

Republicans want SCOTUS to eventually rule on this, so they keep on filing lawsuits.. and in the meantime, scientists all over are getting pissed & taking their research offshore, and what research is going on here, gets stopped & re-started & stopped again... all because a bunch of religious zealots hate science (until a grandchild of theirs is ill & needs cutting-sedge treatment)
