I expected it.
The problem is that the FDA made such a mess of things with their 20 year delay that courts would feel the need to break the glass, ignore the law, and just put judges'/justices' notions of common sense above the rules.
Sometimes the court system just bails out and says, no, this is too stupid, obviously we need to just ignore the rules.
PS: But we need to be clear that that's what's happening.
Courts do sometimes ignore broken law, but we need to call that out as we demand reforms to the law to fix them.
The Texas judge seemed to also expect exactly this. He was bound by precedent himself, so he opened a window for higher courts, with more freedom, to break that glass.
Congress needs to fix this. So far I don't think anyone is pressing the case with the people who actually have the fix.
