This court's actions in resolving applications for interim relief help provide clarity and uniformity as to the interim legal status of major new federal statutes, rules, and executive orders

Not the district courts or courts of appeals, will often still be the ultimate decisionmaker as to the interim legal status of major new federal statutes and executive actions

Yet, for some reason, this Court sees fit to step in now and release the President's wrecking ball at the outset of this litigation.

At bottom, this case is about whether that action amounts to a structural overhaul that usurps Congress's policymaking prerogatives—and it is hard to imagine deciding that question in any meaningful way after those changes have happened.

Given the fact-based nature of the issue in this case and the many serious harms that result from allowing the President to dramatically reconfigure the Federal Government, it was eminently reasonable for the District Court to maintain the…

Disillusionment that the majority will ever step up to defend the rule of law.

In my view, this was the wrong decision at the wrong moment, especially given what little this Court knows about what is actually happening on the ground.

More caution (and more research) may be warranted before our longstanding precedents in this area can be seriously scrutinized or attacked—especially in cases where no party has made such a claim or presented any such argument.

'Right' is defined to be the just claim, ownership, or lawful title which a person has to anything.

If we want gun manufacturers to pay for gun violence abroad, we need to tell members of Congress to write a different law.

Their rulings and the law as they interpret it, which will surely hasten the downfall of our governing institutions, enabling our collective demise.

Has gifted the Executive with the prerogative of sometimes disregarding the law

Before she became [a Planned Parenthood] patient, Edwards had struggled to find a healthcare provider capable of meeting her needs as a diabetic whose condition heightened the risks associated with pregnancy.

This provision sweeps too broadly, interferes with the party-candidate relationship, and has not been proved necessary to combat corruption.

This Court’s complicity in the creation of a culture of disdain for lower courts, their rulings and the law (as they interpret it) will surely hasten the downfall of our governing institutions, enabling our collective demise.

The court once again 'dons its emergency-responder gear, rushes to the scene, and uses its equitable power to fan the flames rather than extinguish them.'

If the idea is to reassure the markets, a simpler — and more judicial — approach would have been to deny the President’s application for a stay.
