>> it might, although many of those issues will be resolved under state law. there are lots of state rules about you know, what localities are allowed to do and what is the province of a state. those are usually decided under state law. they probably would not wind up before the supreme court but some sort of mandate issue may well wind up before the supreme court and the fact that justice barrett, you know, who is a conservative, you know, didn't rebel at this mandate is at least one sign in the win that this issue is something that even conservative justices may have some sympathy for. >> so this is a stupid question and i should know this, but can you explain that how is it she can just decide to not refer to the whole court? because we heard in the past about supreme court just saying we're not going to take this up.
