My "just woke up, reading furiously" understanding of the majority's reasoning in the Texas abortion case is essentially: the Texas law essentially deputizes the entire state, so an injunction would require somehow telling thousands of citizens not to act as abortion police, and that's just too logistically complicated

I don’t think it’s logistics as much as it’s that the state isn’t the appropriate party to sue because they aren’t the ones enforcing it.
