My impression is that a considerable number of these petitions to the Supreme Court stem from District Courts issuing national injunctions regarding administrative decisions. The District Courts appear to be picked by the Democrats specifically because the judge’s political leanings. The Left has used the judicial system for years to get what they can’t get legislatively. Trump was elected in large part because of his promises to clean up the waste and corruption in the Administrative State. So this all comes down to who is going to be the final arbiter of how the taxpayer’s money is going to be spent. If we continue down the current 60 year path we are going to be financially doomed. I’ll take the current Administration over Congress or the Judicial System to solve this problem. If a few eggs get broken in the process that’s fine with me.
The Right does this frequently as well. The Northern District of Texas is quite popular - despite its meager population - as a destination for conservative forum-shopping, given how predictably conservative the judges rule there.
Not only should Lisa Cook be fired from the Federal Reserve, every one else who serves in it should be as well. Too many entities have been ingrained into our government that are unconstitutional or extra-constitutional, and it's time they are eliminated. The Fed is certainly one.
The shadow socket shouldn't exist. If there's too many cases for the court to handle every year, then we need to change the court. For example, expand the number of total justices to 27 and then use random assignment to select 9 for each case. That should also mean a recusal just gets replaced with another justice.
I read newsletters from those that understand this much better than I. Thanks for an easy to understand explanation David. I watch the supremes much closer since the immunity ruling.
While the may have said Trump can do as he pleases, my interpretation doesn’t include the entire administration. So when Vought says he will ( illegally) fire 10,000 employees in a day or 2 I have hope the SCOTUS will side with the law. But my hopes are fading daily.

Kind of like the Vietnam-era “destroying the village to save it” just with the Republic and the Constitution.

Regarding the shutdown, I think Matt Yglesias has a few points that make sense: https://www.slowboring.com/p/seventeen-thoughts-on-the-government
