"A number of prominent liberal court-watchers, such as law professors Lawrence Tribe and Leah Litman, pundit and author Ian Milhiser, and, at times, Supreme Court Justices Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan, and Ketanji Brown-Jackson, have ascribed the conservative majority’s receptivity to Trump shadow docket requests to rank partisanship. Much evidence lends credibility to that charge."

"The order is a resounding win for Trump, further proof that the right-wing majority will find a way to expand his power no matter how flimsy the argument. The administration, in turn, is acting with the hubris of a White House that just crossed a major boundary and was congratulated for it."

"As of this writing, the Trump Justice Department has filed 20 emergency applications with the court in its brief tenure, compared with a 16-year total of eight such applications from the George W. Bush and Barack Obama administrations, or one every other year.

This year, the court granted 18 of Trump’s requests to stay adverse lower court orders, usually over fierce dissents from liberal justices."
