I think it would be an extra interesting detail to include the number of pages of reasoning for each decision, both in total and on average. Really want to demonstrate how the SC orders are just so lacking in comparison!
I don’t have the numbers. But your intuition seems right. SCOTUS hasn’t issued many actual orders. They’ve mostly relied on emergency motions with little to no written justification to lift TROs and injunctions.
I haven’t collected the data for previous administration yet. But it’s hard to make a direct comparisons because SCOTUS is relying heavily on the shadow docket. The courts only issued 28 preliminary injunctions during all 4-years of the Biden admins. Only once did SCOTUS lift an injunction—on the Corporate Transparency Act case. And that happened three days after Biden left office.
Way past time, once there is a Dem Potus, to have 14 yr retroactive term limits. If the Dems win House/Senate in midterms, impeach overtly corrupt Alito/Thomas. Chief Judtice Roberts is in the same baleful league as Taney. Have they no shame, have they no care for the state of our democracy? No need to ponder as the questions answer themselves, tragically.
A Dem potus? Sorry do you mean King? What is a democrat with a capital D? A reed shaking timorously in the wind? Surely disUSA has abandoned that nonsense and returned to the glory of the feudal middle ages? Midterms? What is a term?

How does this compare to Supreme Court under previous administrations?
