Today’s “One First” looks at how #SCOTUS and its defenders have responded to criticisms of the Court’s behavior in Trump cases either by knocking down straw men or by attacking the critics—without meaningfully defending what the Court is actually *doing*: www.stevevladeck.com/p/183-the-mi...
@stevevladeck.bsky.social my sense is that your argument starts with an apples vs oranges comparison and then builds on it with confusion as to why anyone would notice and find that kind of weak.
The Trump admin is doing things that are unprecedented in recent times, so it's not that unexpected to see the Court reacting in ways that are themselves unusual.
Before defending what the court is *doing* I'd start with challenging the question itself for the apples and oranges comparison that proposes misbehavior in the first place.
