Strangeness at SCOTUS -Expert on SCOTUS says "can't remember seeing this happen before…"
Seven of this week’s relists have something strange in common: All were considered at the court’s Jan. 8 conference and then were relisted for this Friday’s conference, but never made a stop at the intervening Jan. 15 conference. I can’t remember seeing that happen before, and certainly not to a group of cases en masse. Six of the cases all have one other thing in common: They involve former President Donald Trump or Trump administration policies that now seem likely to be discontinued or modified.
