thereโs a deep (and fairly obvious) reason this network Maxwell-Epstein(-Trump?) has so much energy after so long and why he got such a soft landing judicially and why Maxwell is now getting unethically soft treatment now. powerful people are implicated and none more so than Trump.

he needs to start supporting lower court rulings, stop allowing the abuse of the shadow docket, insist on upholding stare decisis. Iโm not holding my breath but if he really wants to start shoring up the Judicial Branch, thatโs an excellent way to start saving face.

I think Roberts may simply not take the case as the seven judge appeals court decision is soundly supported and no additional clarity is necessary: Trump has zero authority to levy tariffs unilaterally even under emergency. Roberts must shore up the Judiciary by supporting the lower courts.
