Post-conviction Crim law is my jam. Mostly made of puns.
Especially when he refuses to pay you! WTF, PBS?

Why a 10 day closure for that, though?

I always emphasize the importance of pronouncing case names correctly when I'm training new prosecutors. These are people! The cases are their names, not just stand-ins for holdings!

I mean, what if I really, really want my investment portfolio to be a 60/40 split between math equations and drawings of monkeys? Let the market speak!

It's not even reversing! It's granting extraordinary relief before the parties have had a chance to fully brief the issues--including the one Alito is arguing hasn't been adequately presented!!

It is also perhaps a peek into how he views these emergency appeals. He *presumes* that rulings against Trump should be stayed pending robust briefing and argument at SCOTUS, so he sees the denial of emergency relief as radical. It's bonkers.

But that would only be true if he'd *concurred* on the narrow basis that the court shouldn't be deciding difficult questions on the shadow docket. Instead, he's *dissenting*, which means he wants to grant emergency relief. He's playacting moderation by flipping the emergency standard on its head.

That's exactly his position. He's acting as though his opinion is somehow more moderate than the majority because he wouldn't have decided these questions on an emergency basis.
