In the grand landscape of \u201cresistance\u201d litigation thrown at the Trump administration, this case might not grab the biggest headlines \u2014 but it\u2019s still another win chalked up for the administration, courtesy of the Supreme Court\u2019s Monday order list.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Here\u2019s the setup:<\/p>\n

Todd Harper, a member of the National Credit Union Administration Board, decided to sue after being removed from his position. He went after Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, President Donald Trump, and several administration officials, claiming his ouster was unlawful.<\/p>\n

Back in July, D.C. District Judge Amir Ali handed Harper a victory, granting summary judgment in his favor. But the Trump administration wasn\u2019t having it. They appealed \u2014 and in August, the D.C. Circuit stepped in and put Judge Ali\u2019s ruling on ice with a stay pending appeal.<\/p>\n

Harper then tried to leapfrog the process and asked the Supreme Court to intervene directly, filing a petition for certiorari in September.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re all used to the screaming headlines when the Supreme Court hands down a major ruling or drops an emergency-docket order. But what most people don\u2019t realize is that the Court quietly moves a lot of business through its Monday order lists \u2014 the routine, nuts-and-bolts housekeeping that rarely gets mainstream attention.<\/p>\n

As the Court itself notes, \u201cRegularly scheduled lists of orders are issued on each Monday that the Court sits.\u201d These lists can run several pages and include everything from administrative housekeeping to decisions on whether the justices will take up certain cases. Sometimes they even contain unsigned per curiam opinions or separate statements and dissents from individual justices.<\/p>\n

So, Monday\u2019s\u00a0list\u00a0included this snippet as to the\u00a0Harper<\/em>\u00a0case:<\/p>\n

25-367 HARPER, TODD M., ET AL. V. BESSENT, SEC. TREASURY, ET AL. The petition for a writ of certiorari before judgment is denied.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

 <\/p>\n

My first reaction was surprise \u2014 after all, the Trump administration has racked up a strong track record at the Supreme Court, and there are already similar cases about removing independent agency heads on the Court\u2019s docket with oral arguments coming soon. But then it clicked: this petition for certiorari wasn\u2019t filed by the administration. It was filed by Harper, trying to get the Supreme Court to bail him out after the D.C. Circuit put the lower court\u2019s ruling on hold.<\/p>\n

Once you see that, it\u2019s obvious what this is: Yet another win for the Trump administration and another major defeat for Democrats who are trying to block anything and everything Trump does, especially when it comes to their appointees and federal employee unions.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
