Indeed, SCOTUS has facilitated Trump in every way—granting him near total immunity, using the shadow docket to favor him while ignoring both substance and lower court findings, accepting his “emergencies” when none actually existed. Why? Three were bought, the other (and older) three are sclerotic and driven by politics.
Just thinking about Mr Trump getting all excited about sharing his ill gotten tariff gains with us in the form of his $2,000 “rebates”. There is something typical and perverse in his actions. I am frustrated that his logic is construed as political genius instead of what it is … theft, fraud and lies. How can we help others understand and agree to call him to account??
"District court judges ruled against the administration 94.3% of the time between May and June, according to data collected by Adam Bonica, a professor of political science at Stanford University. The Supreme Court, however, sided with the administration in 93.7% of its cases."
I also recommend the book Lawless, by Leah Litman to understand the Roberts Court. Roberts is a long time proponent of the Unitary Executive theory, and his rulings are meant to codify this thesis.
Great summary of the issues. The deadlines that Costco, and other businesses, face is news to me and I appreciate knowing they have another hill to climb. Trump is ruining the business climate in the U.S. and it hurts every one of us.
GO, COSTCO!!! Costco is one of the most admirable companies in the United States. "To hell with DEI!" they shout. Excellent salaries and benefits for workers. We go to Costco whenever possible. So long, bozo and Amazon.
And of course, upon winning the suit and having their money returned, the corporations will continue gouging consumers with the same or higher prices. This system is fundamentally skewed and we are fundamentally screwed.

(Who calls him a genius about his tariffs? Oh, Scott Bessent, the criminal, I imagine.)
Trump calls himself a genius… I mean, shouldn’t he know 😜
Oh. (No further comment necessary.)

"Roberts is a long time proponent of the Unitary Executive theory"
No WONDER Shrub Bush and the late unlamented Dick Cheney were eager to have him on as Chief Justice!
I cannot find the words to say just how DISGUSTING I find that....
How tragic - but predictable - that the Trump administration has an America devolved from vigilance to petulance.
Well said.

Well, more like "Yes, DEI! To Hell with Trump's removal of it!"
Either way, Costco are the good guys, and Donny Pantload's criminal regime are the baddies, Hans.... 🤨
