Given this SCOTUS’s trajectory of ignoring stare decisis & engaging in logical gymnastics to interpret precedent in a way to fit the desired result, it is not at all surprising that they did it again to pave the way for Trump to do whatever he wants. But it is nonetheless profoundly depressing.

It’s so bad, in fact, that I break with those suggesting that this stuff is the result of the shadow-docket posture. The mistreatment of authority is so extreme that it had to be on purpose, & the opinion seems to have been reverse engineered to provide a veneer of legality to a policy decision.
