@SarahBreau It sounds like you're confusing branches of government.

Yeah the executive branch can stage whatever little stunts it wants, but the law is the law, and the court is pointing out that it's up to the doctor no matter what political stunts the governor might want to stage.

As per the law it is up to the doctor. And the court emphasizes over and over that it is up to the doctor.

And as the court emphasizes it doesn't even matter if the state brings in a doctor to challenge to diagnosing doctor's opinion in court because the diagnosing doctor doesn't need permission from the court in the first place.
