US Supreme Court expands its 'emergency' docket - and Trump's power too As she has done several times recently, liberal Justice Elena Kagan last week sounded the alarm after another bold emergency action by the U.S. Supreme Court's conservative majority again let President Donald Trump carry out one of his policies without taking the usual time or deliberation to review its legality.

Since Trump returned to office, the court has ruled in favor of Trump in 21 of 23 decided cases (w/ one declared moot).

In doing so, the court has expanded how it uses its emergency power, following at least six different legal paths to side with the president.
