On August 24, 2021... Appellees brought this action... seeking to enjoin the Proviso's enforcement.... Several weeks after the Supreme Court of South Carolina issued its opinion in Wilson, and two days before it issued its opinion in Richland, the district court in this case granted Appellees' request for a preliminary injunction and enjoined the named defendants from enforcing the Proviso.... we vacate the district court's order granting the preliminary injunction as to those defendants and remand with instructions
