In Unsigned Shadow Docket Decision, 6-3 Majority Declares Trump Can Hunt People For Sport
Would like to draw attention to this very perceptive comment on my recent blog post about SCOTUS; the way in which the Court now treats the entire judicial system as its own private playground is really unprecedented, I don't think anyone anticipated them seizing total control of their own docket.
