What is disquieting in this context is that SCOTUS is generally not in the business of handing out declaratory judgments. After all, if they start extrapolating on what could happen if a given course of action were taken, that gets disquietingly close to legislating from the bench. It's odd behavior for Originalists, who, if anything, one would assume, would hew far more closely to the power of the courts at the time the Constitution was framed, which was very little.
