Since April 4, #SCOTUS has issued 15 rulings on 17 emergency applications filed by Trump (three birthright citizenship apps were consolidated).

It has granted relief to Trump … in all 15 rulings.

It has written majority opinions in only 3.

Today’s order is the 7th with no explanation at all.

The explanation is very simple - the conservarive majority is so entirely corrupt, compromised and lawless, and their rulings such a direct reflection of that, that they can't even manage to pretend that there's any legitimate basis for anything they do.
