WASHINGTON (AP) — Six months into his second term, President Donald Trump has gotten almost everything he has wanted from the Supreme Court that he reshaped during his first.
The justices, three of whom were appointed by Trump, have cleared the way for stripping legal protections from more than 1 million immigrants, firing thousands of federal employees, ousting transgender members of the military, removing the heads of independent government agencies and more.
The legal victories are noteworthy on their own, but how the president is achieving them is remarkable. Administration lawyers are harnessing emergency appeals, which were used sparingly under previous presidencies, to fast-track cases to the Supreme Court, where decisions are often handed down with no explanation.
Trump’s use of the emergency docket reflects his aggressive approach to governing in his second term, with fewer voices of caution within his administration and the Republican Party. He regularly seeks any possible leverage to advance his agenda, regardless of past practices or tradition.
The result is a series of green lights from the nation’s highest court without any clarity on how the law should be interpreted in the future. The latest example came Monday, when the court allowed the Trump administration to move forward on a key campaign promise to unwind the Education Department and lay off nearly 1,400 workers.
The six conservative justices did not provide a reason for their vote, but Justice Sonia Sotomayor issued a dissent on behalf of the court’s three liberals.

“Voices of caution” in the first administration = assorted hacks, members of the deep state, cowards, and various party hangers on
Sounds like Associated Pravda has its pantries in a twist, and they're reduced to quoting The Wide Latina.
No IMMIGRANTS were harmed
All IMMIGRANTS still have all rights
“Trump reshaped the Supreme Court. Now emergency appeals are helping him reshape the government”
More like helping him DRAIN THE SWAMP.
Correct.
Stripping, firing, ousting . . .
Yep.
That’s exactly what I voted for.
Our PDJT, The GOAT< reveals them all.
May I suggest that “reshaping the government” was precisely why Donald J. Trump was elected?
Nah… me neither.
Hmm, why did they not write “Obama spent 12 years between his terms and those of his pupet Biden stacking the judiciary with radical leftists, many of whom had no or little US legal experience. Here’s how Trump is overcoming this lawfare.”
ha. ha. ha.
Oh, no! Not the transgenders!
What will we do without them???? . . .
(Remind me--what is the unique military advantage of making folks on your own side get a creepy feeling around you because they can't tell if you're a buck or a doe?)
No mention of the extraordinary intervention of the courts to hamper the president in the exercise of his Constitutional duties as the chief executive.
I like when good news is posted.
“The justices, three of whom were appointed by Trump, have cleared the way for stripping legal protections from more than 1 million immigrants, firing thousands of federal employees, ousting transgender members of the military, removing the heads of independent government agencies and more.”
Translation. The court finally is restoring the presidential powers as outlined in the Constitution and case law.
“””but Justice Sonia Sotomayor issued a dissent on behalf of the court’s three liberals”””
Liberals?? I thought judges were supposed to be impartial.
Deep in the article, the poser admits that most of the rulings by the Supreme Court aren’t final decisions, but merely side with the President while those cases work their way through the judicial system.
