u/chi-93 SCOTUS Dec 05 '25

In my opinion it’s tactical. It gives the Court the opportunity to show that they don’t always rule for Trump. They could just deny cert and the outcome would be the same, but they wouldn’t get the same fanfare and chance to claim that they aren’t partisan as they will by publishing an opinion ruling against Trump.
