In reply to the discussion: Alito needs to be investigated. This is from 12/20 [View all]malaise

From the article, the experts seem to think he was covering the SC's tracks/
So why is Alito apparently keeping the door open at the 11th hour? The scholars say it could be to ensure the legitimacy and clarity of the court's ultimate decision to stay out of it.
"When the court refuses to get involved -- which is almost certainly what they're going to do -- they want it to be clear that they are affirmatively deciding not to get involved, that it's not simply that time ran out, but the court within the time frame established by law has decided not to get involved in this lawsuit," Noti said.
Vladeck agreed. "That doesn't mean an injunction is coming," he said.
The court has until midnight Tuesday to take action. If it does nothing, it will effectively render the matter closed.
And the court did not take action

I fear DOJ is too inept to affect any consequence. No laws that pertain to rich and white.
