SCOTUS ruled that Trump can share DHS database with states looking to purge voters because a 90-day rule protects voters, but... cmon gizmodo.com/scotus-allow...

It’s worth noting that Trump and his allies in Congress have sought to weaken or eliminate the 90-day period, while the Republican National Committee has a lawsuit before the Supreme Court seeking to carve out a mile-wide exception for purges of alleged noncitizens. That case is ongoing and arguments won’t be held until at least December.

However, the Department of Justice has filed a brief supporting the case, and SCOTUS could theoretically grant the plaintiffs an emergency filing allowing it to go into effect before the midterms. The court has recently taken to issuing unsigned shadow docket decisions intervening on Trump’s behalf in a number of cases, and this decision follows a long string of others where experts predicted Trump’s defeat in court as an obvious outcome only for him to win out.
