The Court also sets new precedent about how to interpret non-precedential shadow docket decisions, basically saying that they're kinda-sorta-precedent when judges are deciding to use their "equitable" powers.

Justice Kagan cuts to the chase:

"By means of [its repeated, unexplained grants of emergency relief to the Trump administration], this Court may facilitate the permanent transfer of authority, piece by piece by piece, from one branch of Government to another."

1. Just a reminder to voters...

Who thought Hillary was too... female... butter emails...

And Kamala who laughed funny or wasn't quite lily white...

You just turned Trump into the most consequential POTUS since... at least LBJ, possibly FDR.

I'm not one of the pessimists that say our Democracy is over or anything like that...

BUT the Courts themselves will be something that follows Democracy around for the next 20 years... after Trump replaces Alito and Thomas next summer.

2. The Point, per Kagan

"By means of [its repeated, unexplained grants of emergency relief to the Trump administration], this Court may facilitate the permanent transfer of authority, piece by piece by piece, from one branch of Government to another."

3. Dems need to keep a list, fire all these people

And pass new regulations concerning 'spoils'. This shit is straight out of 19th century.

4. It just keeps going on and on.

3 dissentions and 6 smirking justices saying "What are ya gonna do about it sis". There's no point in discussing it anymore without a remedy.
