How can they not be required to recuse themselves at this point? They should not be allowed to hear any further cases against Trump.

If you read the thread, she does a good job.
TLDR; She thinks SCOTUS will grab the case from appellate because appellate is bound by Humphreys which says Trump can fire this person. Only SCOTUS can revisit Humphreys since the ruling came from them. And if they stay the lower courts ruling that the person can't be fired, then there is a good chance they will override Humphreys.

I think you meant to say Humphrey's says that Trump cannot fire this person, right? Maybe I have it backwards...

2/ In Boyle, SCOTUS should (and is near-certainly going to) grant Trump a stay. BUT by sending this letter, Sauer is letting them know that until they say more, the lower courts will continue to ignore them & flood emergency docket. Will be interesting to see if SCOTUS gets hint.

Thanks- your explanation helps. I did read his thread, what little there was, but I didn't and don't understand what "Humphreys" refers to. But your explanation helped a lot by clarifying the potential court actions. I really appreciate those of you who are explaining things as this unfolds Those of us who are not lawyers can follow generally but the added information really fills in the gaps.
Quote:
Oversimplifying a bit I am sure, but basically Humphrey's was a 1935 case that ruled that the president did not have the power to fire leadership of quasi independent federal regulatory agencies setup by congress (like the FCC) without cause. So the appellate courts are not in a position to overrule that precedent. If the SCOTUS is interested in potentially overturning that precedent, they may pick up the case directly from the district court instead of waiting for it to go through the apellate process.
Quote:
On Tuesday, Justice Sonia Sotomayor denied a bid by an Ecuadorian national to stave off his extradition to that country to face sexual abuse charges. One day earlier, the full court over a dissent by the three Democratic appointees cleared the way for the Trump administration to substantially reduce the size of the Department of Education. Both of those actions on the court's emergency docket, sometimes known as the "shadow docket," were significant in their own right. But the court's orders also resolved the major pending requests on the emergency docket for the court's 2024-25 term. (Although the Supreme Court's new term does not officially begin until the first Monday in October, the court begins to assign docket numbers bearing the new term's year in July.)
This means that only three major cases are currently pending on the emergency docket, all for the 2025-26 term. And only one of those a July 2 request to be able to remove three members of the Consumer Product Safety Commission appointed by then-President Joe Biden came from the Trump administration. That's a sharp drop from earlier this year, when (even counting the three nearly identical requests to partially block orders that barred the Trump administration from ending birthright citizenship as a single application) the Trump administration filed 18 requests for relief between late January, when President Donald Trump took office, and the end of June. Indeed, at several points in May, as many as six requests for relief from the Trump administration were pending before the court at any one time.
Is this only a temporary lull in the emergency docket? It's hard to say, but it seems likely. On the one hand, virtually all of the requests for emergency relief between late January and late June stemmed from the many executive orders and actions that followed soon after Trump's inauguration, which in turn could have led to a surge in such requests. On the other hand, the court did not always act as quickly on the Trump administration's requests as the government would have liked. The justices took nearly six weeks, for example, before granting the Trump administration's request to remove members of the National Labor Relations Board and the Merit Systems Protection Board, which suggests that the sheer number of cases pending at any particular time can also be attributed to the justices, not just the Trump administration. In other words, the justices will act on their own timeframe.
2/ If citizens, they could show and come without habeas (and none are). And none of the others have a right to be in U.S., plus they'd be nuts to agree to come back to U.S. now. Trump Administration also has stronger argument that they are enemies given Venezuela wanted them.
