For many legal scholars, being cited even a single time in a judicial decision is a rare and validating achievement.

That’s what made June 27 an especially momentous day in the career of new University of Chicago law professor Samuel Bray, whose scholarship on the topic of universal injunctions was cited over a dozen times by the Supreme Court in the case Trump v. CASA.

Kate Shaw, a contributing Opinion writer, hosted a written online conversation with Will Baude, a law professor at the University of Chicago, and Stephen Vladeck, a law professor at Georgetown and the author of “The Shadow Docket: How the Supreme Court Uses Stealth Rulings to Amass Power and Undermine the Republic,” to debate how the Supreme Court is handling the pressures of the Trump administration and to discuss the end of the court’s term

He has taken a series of actions that openly violate the law, and complied with court orders only begrudgingly, often with significant foot-dragging. Meanwhile, he is undermining the authority of the courts rhetorically.
