Subject: Re: Trump Was Right. He Owns SCOTUS
Well, sure, after all this is a rather "par for the course" case, right?

Didn't it take the Supremes 16 days to write the approximately 200-word, two paragraph grant of certiorari?

Good point. They're moving lightning fast, actually - at least for them. As noted in the upthread link, it usually takes about two months for SCOTUS to grant certiorari. Here, the Court granted it in about two weeks - and scheduled it for oral argument in this term, rather than kicking it into next term.

Normally, you'd have several months of briefing the issues between the two parties - a month for the initial brief, a month for the opposition, and some additional time for the reply. And then it would be set for argument. Here, they set 21 days for each side, only a week for the reply, and oral argument a week later.

Again, super fast, for them.
