Text: 87 I concur in the judgment reversing the decision of the district court and vacating the preliminary injunction. Because the appropriate grounds of the decision involve issues that are fundamental to harmonizing interests in liberty and order under the Constitution of the United States, I conclude that it is appropriate, if not obligatory, that I state in a concurring opinion the grounds as I see them for reaching this judgment. 88 For reasons associated with undisputed facts about Pharmaceutical Benefit Managers (PBMs) and relationships between interests they represent and interests of citizens of Maine represented by the Commissioner, Maine Department of Human Services, Maine's Legislature, and Maine's Attorney General, I turn first to a more extended recitation of background facts regarding standing and jurisdiction than appears in the opinion of the Court of Appeals, delivered by Judge Bownes. 89
