rather than malice in most situations. But lately SCOTUS seems to be in complete lock-step with everything Trump wants, and it's starting to look pretty fishy. Granted, these are just decisions on injunctive relief rather than final decisions on the merits, but it sure looks like their lifting of lower court injunctions is just a way of buying them time to come up with some ridiculous academic fake-originalist justification for giving Trump another blowjob. I don't want to be thinking that way, but the ducks are starting to quack an awful lot like ducks.
