It was pretty obvious we're headed down this path. Just another article confirming it.
I do wonder how quickly SCOTUS can act on the growing pipeline coming up (hopefully) soon e.g. how do they prioritize cases, will they defer a bunch of already scheduled ones to take on all/many of the new Trump ones.
Trump administration unfazed by court losses and sets sights on Supreme Court | CNN Politics
Quote:
Even before President Donald Trump retook office, his advisers expected that his executive orders and other policy moves would face immediate legal challenges. It was expected that those challenges would be filed in districts that were friendly to challengers and would result in initial losses for the administration.
That has been the case. Over 160 lawsuits have been filed against various administration policies, Attorney General Pam Bondi said Wednesday on Fox News. They are often in jurisdictions with mostly or all Democratic-appointed judges such as Boston, Maryland, Seattle and Washington, DC, though that doesn’t guarantee success for the plaintiffs.
But the Trump legal strategy has always been a long game designed to get these questions before the conservative supermajority at the Supreme Court where his lawyers believe Trump will prevail in his expansive use of executive power. A recent string of court losses has not deterred the administration from continuing to pursue this strategy.
