Recent weeks frankly not a good show by US Judiciary.

The series of Trump indictments all fizzling out, because judges didn't want to indict an on coming president.

And on this particular matter, Supreme Court 'unsigned' opinion felt confused even though it is termed unanimous.

At places it seemed to complain of the paucity of time/scope to consider all parts of the matter more seriously, and at the end even expressed ambivalence about what is going to happen next even.

Frankly bit of shoddy-ness/confused signalling from Judiciary and Supreme Court.

Perhaps it would have been better to just delay the matter by issuing an interim extension and reconsider the issue taking into account the views of the new administration.

This was no urgent matter that a few days delay would have mattered.
