Detailed Analysis:
- Claim:** "A little less than once a week on average since President Donald Trump began his second term, his administration’s lawyers have filed emergency appeals with the Supreme Court"
- Verification Source #1: Fails to cover this specific claim, but provides access to the Supreme Court's docket, which *could* be used to verify this claim with extensive research.
- Verification Source #2: Mentions the "emergency docket" and a new immigration case, but doesn't provide specific data on the frequency of appeals from the Trump administration.
- Verification Source #3: Explains Supreme Court procedures, including the docket, but doesn't cover the frequency of emergency appeals.
- Verification Source #4: Provides access to the Supreme Court docket for Illinois, not the US Supreme Court.
- Verification Source #5: Mentions an "emergency abortion" case on the docket, but doesn't provide data on the frequency of appeals.
- Internal Knowledge:* While I cannot definitively verify the claim without extensive docket research, it seems plausible given the Trump administration's legal strategies. However, without direct verification, this remains unverified.
Supporting Evidence/Contradictions:
