    Because if they actually rule it can be appealed to the Supreme Court, a temporary injunction needs a compelling reason to overrule.

    Aileen Cannon abused this bullshit tactic quite a lot in Jack Smith’s case.

      I can see her getting on the supreme Court soon if Thomas or Alito are in the mood to retire. It’s always useful to set the precedent that being blatantly biased towards Trump will pay off.

      Comparing the Warren court to this is straight up comical.

        Roberts still has this bullshit idea that people respect the court and is likely to push back on any drastic departures with tradition simply out of pride.

        Who the fuck knows if the sky will be blue tomorrow but I suspect they’ll not intercede in a temporary injunction.
