Supreme Court Justice Blasts Colleagues Over Trump Cases

Liberal Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor blamed her colleagues for the Trump administration filing an “unprecedented” number of emergency motions asking the nation’s top court to block unfavorable lower court rulings while the appeals process plays out.

The conservative majority has sided with President Donald Trump’s administration in more than 80 percent of its emergency applications, leading to criticism that the justices are deciding important legal questions on the emergency “shadow” docket with little or no explanation.
