It says here: ” If the case is successful, it would reverse years of such legislation.” I can’t be sure, but I think the intended meaning is “If the case were to be successful in the Supreme Court” [which is unlikely for the reason given] “it would reverse years of such legislation”. Maybe so, but matters of public policy *should* be challenged in the courts – it’s one of a number of ways that social attitudes can be changed. Broadcasting the proceedings to the world is part of the process.
