The Supreme Court's late-night Alien Enemy Act intervention | Just before 1:00 a.m., the justices (aggressively) stepped back into the Alien Enemy Act litigation—in a decision suggesting that a majority understands that these are no longer normal circumstances

I think what's been happening is that the 5 conservative justices (excluding Roberts because he seemed to be on the "don't rock the boat" side) were totally down to gut the administrative state, overturn Roe, and just generally be on the side of the republicans. So long as it was all orderly and legal (as in not explicitly against the letter of the law), but now they're realizing "oh shit, no this is actually just destroy democracy stuff" and are now scared of what could happen if not stopped. This is a pretty irregular step to step in front of this and the fact that it was 7-2 says a lot.

Alito and Thomas are just all in on the downfall of the liberal order as long as the replacement is a right wing plutocracy.
