The Supreme Court’s conservatives spent most of last term accepting, then granting, an unprecedented slew of heretofore-rare Justice Department “emergency applications” from the court’s so-called “shadow docket,” most in the service of staying lower court bars against myriad Trump administration actions bloating presidential powers. Thereby, the justices enabled Trump to continue breaching preexisting boundaries without having to decide on the merits whether his power grabs actually violate relevant law. In most cases, the justices issued these often
highly consequential edicts with no explanation to help parties, lower courts, other governmental branches, or the public get an inkling of what their final decision might be, or what analytical approach they will deploy.
But in recent weeks, Trump’s gluttony for norm-breaking has reached heights that preclude the justices from continuing to kick these cans down the road. In the term that begins next month, they will have to stop dithering and decide issues that could make or break his presidency. On September 9, the court agreed to review two lower court rulings that held that Trump’s huge new tariffs lack any statutory authorization and would, one appellate court held, usurp “the power of the purse (including the power to tax) [which under the Constitution] belongs to Congress.” This past Monday, September 15, an appellate panel upheld Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook’s challenge to Trump’s attempt to fire her without statutorily prescribed “cause.” A day later, the White House announced its intent to appeal that defeat to the Supreme Court.
