As of now, #SCOTUS has only 34 cases on its "merits" docket for decision this term. At this point in OT2025, that # was 43. And it was 44 at this point in OT2024. So we're heading either for a rush to add more cases, or an even lower total this year than the historically low totals since COVID.

I wrote about what last night means for #SCOTUS, including whether Thomas or Alito will retire during the lame duck (no); whether the Court will now moderate its behavior (it *needs* to); and the consequences for the Court and the country if the justices continue to act as if they are above it all:

261. The Midterms and the Courts, Part I

John Roberts is in a similar position to Owen Roberts in December 1936. Whether he’ll react the same way could say a lot about the Supreme Court’s future.

For those who aren't close #SCOTUS watchers, each term since COVID, the Court has decided fewer than 60 cases after full review. Before COVID, we hadn't seen so few decisions since 1864. As recently as the 1980s, the total was still in the 150s, and even in the early 2010s, it was still in the 70s.

"The question hanging over the lower courts will no longer be whether they’ll *survive* this presidency. It’ll be how they do their jobs in it." Part II of my "One First" series on the midterms and the federal courts moves from #SCOTUS to what'll change in the *lower* courts starting next January:

Bonus 261: The Midterms and the Courts, Part II

Lower courts have been fighting a rear-guard action against the Trump administration. The cavalry's arrival will make that job harder—but a lot less lonely.

For the last 21 months, the lower federal courts have been fighting a rearguard action against the lawlessness of the Trump administration—with no support from Congress and very little from #SCOTUS. One of tonight’s less visible consequences will be that we’ll have a Congress that has their backs.

John Roberts "though not on the ballot — was certainly sent a message that the citizenry does not approve of the blank check the Trump administration has, largely, been given by Congress and the Supreme Court over the past two years." @chrisgeidner.bsky.social #SCOTUS www.lawdork.com/p/six-tak….

"The Supreme Court had better be watching.
Chief Justice John Roberts — though not on the ballot — was certainly sent a message that the citizenry does not approve of the blank check the Trump administration has, largely, been given by Congress and the Supreme Court over the past two years.

Roberts has a long-term vantage-point from the court, and I would expect him, as well as the three Trump appointees on the court, to take note of the “election returns,” as Finley Peter Dunne’s Mr. Dooley said so long ago. They do still have their conservative legal goals to advance, and, at this point, Trump is increasingly an impediment to them — rather than a means to advancing them."
