The court has been chugging along as normal considering the holiday season has been in between. They granted review in 14 cases just over a week ago. The court rolls on even though you haven't seen it with your "internet search".
There is no reason to drop all your woes at Roberts' feet he is one vote of 9 and SCOTUS justices are not afraid to vote against the majority and definitely not against the opinion of the Chief Justice. The only justices that felt compelled to hear TX v PA were Alito and Thomas and then specifically because they feel SCOTUS is mandated to entertain cases of Original Jurisdiction though by precedent they are not. Alito in particular has had the mandate to hear OJ cases as his pet project for years. Alito and Thomas gave a clear indication the outcome would have been the same even if the case were to have been entertained. I said from the beginning the court wouldn't hear TX v PA despite the wishcasting of some on my colleagues on here.
Correct, you actually read what the Court said. So now all of the so called Constitutionalist or judicial originalist are railing against a 9-0 ruling. NINE to ZERO. How many times on issues like Health Care, immigration, taxes, privacy rights, religous liberty, do we have 5-4 cases. This was 9-0 and 3 Trump appointees ruled against the Texas case.
As you noted, Alito and Thomas, Bush2 and Bush 1 appointees, respectively, both agreed to hear the case orally but clearly said that based on the case filed, their ruling against it on legal grounds would have been the same.
Trump should have at that point said the top court in the land, by 9-0 ruled against the Republican challenge and he should have conceded then!
