Apparent 6-3 ruling with the liberals in dissent

This follows a prior grant allowing Trump to remove labor regulators (Trump v. Wilcox)

Justice Kagan cuts to the chase:

"By means of [its repeated, unexplained grants of emergency relief to the Trump administration], this Court may facilitate the permanent transfer of authority, piece by piece by piece, from one branch of Government to another."
