Alito says the court now handles emergency petitions at a pace that rivals its merits docket, with 41 Trump administration requests last week alone.
- 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.

- Alito rejected claims his rulings align with the "Make America Great Again" camp, stating "I honestly try to decide every single case on the merits, every single application on the merit."
- Trump has praised Alito as "one of the Greatest of All Time" while simultaneously maligning other justices he appointed as "unpatriotic," reflecting broader political pressure on the Court.
- 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.
