...the SCOTUS is not bothering to explain their decisions via the "Shadow Docket" so we are simply left in the dark about WHY SCOTUS is ruling the way it is ruling. It almost seems like the SCOTUS is pretty irrelevant now. They keep letting Trump do anything and everything he wants.

The decision on the illegal tariffs will probably drag out for months, giving Trump more free rein.
