The Trump administration's latest application for emergency relief from #SCOTUS (on foreign aid impoundment) rests on a contrived procedural emergency and a forfeited substantive claim—apparently banking on the view that the justices don't mind being played.

My (very) deep dive, via "One First":

    Everything is just a manufactured emergency. And he keeps using it to ignore the constitution. Can't wait for the day when the emergency is gun violence and they start to take them off the streets. Just stupid we keep having school shootings and do nothing...

    As usual, very informative, but by now Sauer isn't operating in good faith and nor do Gorsuch or Kavanaugh on these procedural issues. More generally, SCOTUS has long abandoned any pretense of abiding by ordinary rules of app review. The Trump 6 apply the std of review most hospitable to its reuslt

    If they’re willingly beclowning themselves to satisfy their bloated, belligerent benefactor, are they being played, or are we? It’s way past time to grant the right-wing SCOTUS the legitimacy & respect they deserve: none.

    Please stop pretending the Justices on the court are judges.

    Roberts and the rest are blatant paid political operatives.

    The law has had nothing to do with it fot years.

    History shows that the six GOP SCOTUS justices really don't mind "being played" because they're not being played. They're all complicit traitors.

    6 of them don't mind being played. In fact, they don't even NEED to be played. Let's be honest.

    "The harder question is whether, in a case in which the government’s cynical attempt to so obviously manipulate the emergency docket is happening in plain sight, the justices will still indulge it."

    Does SCOTUS want to play this game of Calvinball? See Jackson dissent, recently.

    Does anyone know how many cases the supremes have taken for the orange guy? Especially compared to anyone else in history.

    The Lackey Court, when acting pro Bozo, has not bothered to pay much attention to the Constitution and laws of the United States, or to long standing precedent or facts or logic, so it will probably overlook these procedural niceties. But thank you, Professor Vladeck, for this lectio magistralis.

    All the SCOTUS has to do is to decline the petition. Well unless they want to corrupt the constitution more, of course not, they wouldn't.

    After all the destruction they have done to the Republic, the Constitution, and the rule of law you still really believe that 6 cons on Scotus are good faith, fair and balanced, judges who only look at the letter of the law and Constitution.
