Only Alito, Thomas & Gorsuch dissented? Leonard Leo's SCOTUS majority must be on a PR trip!

"...
In each of the areas discussed—public corruption caselaw, campaign
finance caselaw, and the debate over their own ethics—the justices are
doing something with the concept of corruption and their discourse around
it.
And focusing on their rhetoric allows us to see exactly what they are
doing.
They are aggrandizing themselves, simultaneously promoting
narratives about their own trustworthiness and nonjudicial actors’
tawdriness.
Remarkably, these rhetorical moves remain constant even as
outcomes differ by, for example, holding judges to higher ethical
standards in some instances and lower standards in others.
Indeed, the consistency of their rhetorical and ideational posture across different outcomes should make us more confident, not less, that we have identified a real behavioral pattern of the justices.
Moreover, perhaps because their use of corruption is so squarely aimed
at enhancing their institutional prestige and power, they have been less
divided about corruption than about many other matters.
Of these three areas, only campaign finance has been characterized by significant dissensus.
Perhaps, in the end, it is unsurprising that the justices are largely able to find common ground about the inherent superiority of justices.

The justices declined the #Trump administration’s emergency request to overturn a ruling by U.S. District Judge April Perry that had blocked the deployment of troops. An appeals court also had refused to step in. #SCOTUS took more than two months to act.

The high court order is not a final ruling but it could affect other lawsuits challenging Trump’s attempts to deploy the #military in other #Democratic-led #US #cities.
