John,
You may have heard of the U.S. Supreme Court’s “shadow docket” — it’s when
the Court issues emergency rulings in urgent cases outside of its normal
schedule, usually without full briefings and oral arguments.
This shadow or emergency docket is how the Trump administration is getting
so much of its agenda accomplished despite lower court rulings to stop it,
with less transparency from justices around the reasoning for their
decisions.
When the Court rules in Trump’s favor, he can temporarily carry out his
actions while the case continues to move through the legal process until
reaching a final decision, which could take a year or even longer.
So far in Trump’s second term, his administration has won 84% of its
emergency appeals to the Court — a much higher success rate than President
Joe Biden’s administration, which only won 53% of the time, according to
The New York Times.
[ [link removed] ]A bar chart titled 'How Often the Justices Voted in Favor of Each
Administration' compares emergency application rulings during Trump's
second term and Biden's term. For Trump: Alito and Gorsuch voted in favor
95% of the time, Kavanaugh and Thomas 89%, Barrett 79%, Roberts 74%, Kagan
26%, Sotomayor 11%, and Jackson 0%. For Biden: Alito and Thomas 18%,
Gorsuch 29%, Kavanaugh 41%, Barrett and Roberts 53%, Kagan 82%, Sotomayor
88%, and Jackson 77%. The administration success rate was 84% under Trump
and 53% under Biden.
Trump isn’t just winning these appeals more often – his administration is
filing them at a drastically higher rate than previous presidencies.
It’s all part of the MAGA strategy: flood the zone with unconstitutional
executive orders and actions that trample on people’s rights, then
immediately appeal to the Supreme Court when they’re stopped by lower
courts.
Demand Justice PAC has been working to restore balance to the courts, pass
judicial reform, and stop Trump from abusing the legal system since his
first term. If we’re going to stop him and his far-right majority on the
Court from causing more damage, we need your support.
