Trump v. Cook · ¶175

Some of these questions present issues of first impression, and many of them lack obvious answers. More important, the lower courts in this case have passed on very few of these issues and have done so in a preliminary and rushed fashion. We often say that “we are a court of review, not of first view,” Cutter v. Wilkinson, 544 U. S. 709, 718, n. 7 (2005), but the Court has strayed far from that oft-repeated maxim here.
