        Alignment is each justice's general judicial philosophy as commonly described, not a party. Justices don't belong to parties, and they don't always vote with their bloc.

        No. 26A203 · October Term 2025

        National Park Service v. National Trust for Historic Preservation in the United States

        Decided August 31, 2026, 9–0 · From the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit

        Holding

        Because the government has established that it is likely to prevail in showing that the Trust lacks Article III standing to challenge the East Wing project in federal court, that it would likely suffer irreparable harm without a stay, and that the balance of equities tips in its favor, the injunction entered by the District Court is stayed pending the disposition of the government’s forthcoming petition for a writ of certiorari, if such writ is timely sought.
