which is how Politico has interpreted it:

"This is, in the opinion of many, an unprecedented judicial overreach....This ruling makes us look weak," the president declared before appearing to vow to take the issue to the Supreme Court. "This is a watered-down version of the first one....I think we should go back to the first one and go all the way which is what I wanted to do in the first place."
