The real question is WHY is Ginsburg of all the justices out front on this?
Is the court using Ruthie and her ‘leftism’ to deter critism in getting involved in this issue?
The justice can ask the entire panel of judges to take up the case.
Souter unfortunately got to make the initial decision on Emanate Domain.
The US is divided into 9 sections and each SC judge has jurisdiction over 1 section. Ginsburg happened to have NY where this was filed.
Ginsberg didn’t chose to be “out in front.” The Supreme Court system for hearing emergency appeals divides the country into geographic zones, and each zone is assigned 1 Justice. This application for a stay went to Ginsberg; she had no discretion about it.
