He’s a whiny bitter man. Apparently he doesn’t have a Harlan Crow to lavish him with unreported luxuries to take the edge off years of being dissed. F*#@k Aleako!
Justice Alito dissented and wrote, in part, that denying the relief " ... would simply restore the circumstances that existed (and that theGovernment defended) from 2000 to 2016 under three Presidential administrations."
History and tradition is a marvelous doctrine. Abortion wasn't ok according to Sir Edward Coke in the 17th century and Sir Matthew Hale in the 18th century. Restricting the use of mifepristone to the regulatory regime of six years ago is similarly fine. By parity of reasoning, the Commerce Clause can be rolled back to any congenial regime in our timeline of history and tradition. Or the securities law. Under his test, the Court would enjoy feasting on a buffet of the collected U.S. Code of Federal Regulations could be decomposed into component provisions and reassembled to suit. The Least Dangerous branch has played a long game and becoming our own Politburo appears within reach.
Alito went out of his way to express butthurt about previous shadow docket rulings. But I'm genuinely confused as to wether today's stay handed down even IS a so called shadow docket decision. To my layperson's eye, it isn't. But, yeah, I'm quite unsure.
Yes, anything on the applications docket is a shadow docket decision. Not only is there no reasoning needed to be given — by anyone, really — but the vote, also, is not public. All that we *know* is that a majority voted for the stay and that Thomas and Alito voted against the stay. (I note this latter part in the expanded version of the story.)
Will we now await another 15th or 16th century theory from Alito? That has nothing to do with the many letters exchanged between the Father's of our Constitution,
that framed the very Constitution he's supposed to
“Contrary to the impression that may be held by many, "
The impression that's held by me is please grow up, Justice Alito
The contempt dripping off Alito any time he's deigns to explain himself to non-Federalist Society riffraff...

Shockingly good news!
Not so shocking was that Alito and Thomas dissented. 🙄🤯

It is a shadow docket decision in that it was an emergency action ordered without any published opinion explaining their reasoning.
