Supreme Court Actually Explained Ruling in Shift

“When the Supreme Court cleared a path on Monday for President Trump to continue pursuing proposed restrictions on voting by mail, the justices laid out their reasoning in a 10-page opinion,” the New York Times reports.

“That explanation, characterizing lower-court rulings against the administration as premature, marked a departure from how the court had routinely handled emergency requests during the early months of Mr. Trump’s second term. It also illustrates how the justices’ rushed orders can create more confusion when they land in the middle of unfolding cases.”

“During Mr. Trump’s first year in office, the court was inundated with such fast-track filings, fielding 30 emergency requests related to his policies. But even as the court overwhelmingly sided with Mr. Trump, it ruled with little or no explanation of its reasoning in at least a dozen orders.”
