- On Tuesday, Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito released a book noting that emergency appeals have skyrocketed during President Donald Trump's second administration, now rivaling cases the Supreme Court considers with full briefing and oral arguments.

- The Court remains at the center of debated issues including the president's ballroom construction and mail ballot restrictions, with Alito warning the surge in emergency decisions is "going to continue.
