Flutterby™! : Kavanaugh Stops

I like this framing: Liz Dye: SCOTUS Blessed "Kavanaugh Stops." Will They Also Give Thumbs Up To "Roberts Residencies?" Maybe Barrett Bookings? Alito Arrests? Gorsuch Guest Passes?

On September 8, the Supreme Court effectively legalized racial profiling. Naturally, they did it on the shadow docket, in a one-paragraph order <span> in which five of the six conservative justices voted to stay a trial judge’s order “pending the disposition of the appeal in the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit and disposition of a petition for a writ of certiorari, if such a writ is timely sought.” So far, so blahblahblah. But Justice Kavanaugh, likely stinging from criticism of the Supreme Court’s unexplained shadow docket rulings, took it upon himself to explain that the conservative justices are very definitely greenlighting racial profiling
