yes and this isn't the only 9-0 ruling coming out of SCOTUS recently:

Supreme Court Slaps Down 9th Circuit, Rules Against Illegal Alien

that one was written by Sotomayor. of all people. I think the left's court packing threads are taking a toll on all of these robes, this is the one I'm watching the most:

Democrats warn Supreme Court that overturning Roe v. Wade will 'fuel' court-packing push

it's bad when someone like Kagan makes a lot more sense than our senile president

But note the note on pending legislation in the decision (boldface and red-lettering added):

…Consider, for example, a foreign national who entered the country legally on a tourist visa, but stayed on for several months after the visa’s expiration. He can satisfy §1255’s requirement of admission, but he founders in showing nonimmigrant status. The TPS provision relieves that difficulty and enables him to become an LPR. Congress, of course, could have gone further, by deeming TPS recipients to have not only nonimmigrant status but also a lawful admission. Legislation pending in Congress would do just that. See American Dream and Promise Act of 2021, H. R. 6, 117th Cong., 1st Sess., §203, p. 29 (introduced Mar. 3, 2021) (amending §1254a(f)(4) so that a TPS recipient shall be considered “as having been inspected and admitted into the United States, and” as being in, and maintaining, lawful status as a nonimmigrant” (emphasis added)). But even without that amendment, the statute does something—and this Court does not get to say that the something it does is not enough.

Most of us have families and wish to leave a decent inherritance for our future generations. Could be that we now have some justices who fear being hated and cursed by their grand kids for wrecking their inherritance.
