@stevevladeck.bsky.social Maybe someone will try to explain "why the Court correctly intervened to allow Alabama to use an unlawful map in 2022, and yet it’s been justified in intervening to prevent NY & LA from using unlawful maps in 2026. Suffice it to say, Justice Alito didn’t provide one."

We’re less than 90 minutes from Justice Alito’s entirely arbitrary 5 p.m. deadline for his administrative stays in the mifepristone case.
As I explained last week, Alito is the only justice who regularly imposes these time limits—and he only does it in cases in which he doesn’t like the applicants:
Two procedural moves by the justices on Monday reinforce criticisms that the Court behaves differently in otherwise similar cases based solely on the ideological/partisan valence of the dispute.
