President Trump is on a winning streak at the Supreme Court with conservative-majority justices giving the green light for the president to resume his sweeping agenda.

Their recent blessing of his firings of more independent agency leaders is the latest example of the court going the administration’s way.

This White House in six months has already brought more emergency appeals to the high court than former President Biden did during his four years in office, making it an increasingly dominant part of the Supreme Court’s work.

But as the court issues more and more emergency decisions, the practice has sometimes come under criticism — even by other justices.

Trump prompts staggering activity

Trump’s Justice Department filed its 21st emergency application on Thursday, surpassing the 19 that the Biden administration filed during his entire four-year term.

The court has long dealt with requests to delay executions on its emergency docket, but the number of politically charged requests from the sitting administration has jumped in recent years, further skyrocketing under Trump.

“The numbers are startling,” said Kannon Shanmugam, who leads Paul, Weiss’ Supreme Court practice, at a Federalist Society event Thursday.

Trump’s Justice Department asserts the burst reflects how “activist” federal district judges have improperly blocked the president’s agenda. Trump’s critics say it shows how the president himself is acting lawlessly.

But some legal experts blame Congress for being missing in action.

“There are a lot of reasons for this growth, but I think the biggest reason, in some sense, is the disappearance of Congress from the scene,” Shanmugam said.

In his second term, Trump has almost always emerged victorious at the Supreme Court. The administration successfully halted lower judges’ orders in all but two of the decided emergency appeals, and a third where they only partially won.

On immigration, the justices allowed the administration to revoke temporary legal protections for hundreds of thousands of migrants and swiftly deport people to countries where they have no ties while separately
