As I mentioned in another topic, individual Justices really tend to not act on their own as Circuit Justices. They really do try to consider the issue and the views of the entire Court.

On the other hand, Justice Alito is a very strong proponent of executive powers. That might even be a stronger position for him than pure and basic partisanship.

This is a hack decision. This case is completely different from DHS v. Regents. The Supreme Court, even before Kennedy retired, basically bent over backwards to support what the Trump Administration was doing through executive action. The DACA decision was one rare exception. This current Court is holding the Biden Administration to a very different standard. I suppose that should surprise no one, but they're barely even trying to cover. This is fundamentally a foreign policy decision where the courts should have no business. This should have been decided under the political question doctrine.
