    Now he'll say he did everybody an extra favor by giving the SNAP benefits. "You're welcome, poors."

    It was a small ask: vote for the minibus with a food stamps carve out and a one-year extension of ACA subsidies, with a promise to negotiate on healthcare next year

    Please, Mister Trump, start sending cattle ranchers to jail for making money while giving Argentina infinity dollars. I beg you. It’s the only way to make America great again.

    One-tenth of Rep. Grijalva's term has already passed without being sworn in

    ~812,000 Arizonans in the 4th district continue to be disenfranchised

    The House remains on vacay to protect elite pedos

    Dems can kill inflation if they continue on long enough. Then Fed can drop interest more. Then Trump can take credit for both.

    when the country is at peace and people feel prosperous, that might work

    if not, it would be a hollow victory

    Republicans squandered tempo and positioning by dismissing Schumer's rather minimal offer out of hand

    "Republicans are keeping the government closed, starving kids, and making you miss your Thanksgiving flights because they want your healthcare costs to go through the roof" is actually a pretty effective message for Democrats

    Yeah, I agree with that. Why not just extend ACA a year for US Citizens only? that's ing stupid on Thune et al's part, Trump should have told them to say yes

    Trump policy is all sticks and no carrots

    eh I blame the establishment GOP more than Trump on this, the same establishment GOP hacks like Lindsey Graham who shutdown the government over the same issue in 2013 but in reverse.... well before Trump stuck his nose into politics beyond pushing birtherism.... but Trump could at least tweet and tell them to and give more effort to get this done even if they won't, instead he's just pushing nuke the filibuster which is a good idea but I don't understand why you wouldn't take Schumer's deal today.

    I lean Republican, but that was a reasonable offer, literally extending a policy that has existed since 2013 for one more year and nothing else the Dems wanted, Thune etc should have accepted this, shame on the establishment GOP for not ending the shutdown today.

    Rs are cowardly and cowed by Trump, to their own detriment

    eventually the reality will dawn on them that Trump is hurting them too

    it's an administrative stay, merits weren't reached

    no win or loss for anyone has happened yet

    In an order circulated to the Court’s press corps at 9:17 p.m. ET, Jackson issued the administrative stay sought by the Trump administration. But her order says a lot more than the typical administrative stay—which usually contains nothing other than boilerplate. As Jackson wrote, “Given the First Circuit’s representations, an administrative stay is required to facilitate the First Circuit’s expeditious resolution of the pending stay motion.” Thus, she stayed the two orders from Judge McConnell “pending disposition of the motion for a stay pending appeal” in the First Circuit, “or further order of Justice Jackson or of the Court.” And as the order concludes, “This administrative stay will terminate forty-eight hours after the First Circuit’s resolution of the pending motion, which the First Circuit is expected to issue with dispatch.”


    The first thing to say about this order is that I’ve never seen anything quite like it before. Circuit Justices don’t usually explain administrative stays, and certainly not with this much detail about the timing. Here, Justice Jackson is clearly telling the First Circuit to hustle—a message I am sure the court of appeals will receive and act upon.


    As for why Justice Jackson did it, to me, the clue is the last sentence. Had Jackson refused to issue an administrative stay, it’s entirely possible (indeed, she may already have known) that a majority of her colleagues were ready to do it themselves. I still think that this is what happened back in April when the full Court intervened shortly before 1 a.m., without explaining why Justice Alito hadn’t, in the A.A.R.P. Alien Enemies Act case. And from Jackson’s perspective, an administrative stay from the full Court would’ve been worse—almost certainly because it would have been open-ended (that is, it would not have had a deadline). The upshot would’ve been that Judge McConnell’s order could’ve remained frozen indefinitely while the full Court took its time. Yesterday’s grant of a stay in Trump v. Orr, for instance, came 48 days after the Justice Department first sought emergency relief.

    Instead, by keeping the case for herself and granting the same relief, in contrast, Justice Jackson was able to directly influence the timing in both the First Circuit and the Supreme Court, at least for now. She nudged the First Circuit (which I expect to rule by the end of the weekend, Monday at the latest); and, assuming that court rules against the Trump administration, she also tied her colleagues’ hands—by having her administrative stay expire 48 hours after the First Circuit rules. Of course, the full Court can extend the administrative stay (and Jackson can do it herself). But this way, at least, she’s putting pressure on everyone—the First Circuit and the full Court—to move very quickly in deciding whether or not Judge McConnell’s orders should be allowed to go into effect. From where I’m sitting, that’s why Justice Jackson, the most vocal critic among the justices of the Court’s behavior in Trump-related emergency applications, ruled herself here—rather than allowing the full Court to overrule her. It drastically increases the odds of the full Supreme Court resolving this issue by the end of next week—one way or the other.
