Unlike Trump, Biden cannot lean on conservative Supreme Court to keep agenda alive | Reuters

By Thomas A. Smith

Unlike his Republican predecessor Donald Trump, whose administration sought to rush cases to a U.S. Supreme Court it considered friendly territory, Biden s team may not be able to count on a sympathetic audience among the conservative justices who hold sway on the nation s top judicial body.

The Jan. 22 lawsuit was filed by Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, a staunch Republican ally of Trump, challenging Biden s 100-day moratorium on deportation of many immigrants. The judge in the case on Tuesday temporarily blocked Biden s action while the litigation continues, with the potential that the matter could end up at the Supreme Court.
