The Supreme Court on Friday handed a significant victory to Donald Trump - and future American presidents - when curbing lower courts’ power to block executive orders.
Trump was beaming as he addressed reporters at the White House briefing room podium, calling it a “big, amazing decision” which the administration is “very happy about”.
The court’s decision not only impacts Trump’s birthright citizenship order, but also emboldens him to enact many of his other policy actions that have been temporarily thwarted by similar injunctions.
They’re getting paid to do this job. We think it’s a different job than that are actually getting paid to do.
I mean, I know that. I’m just pointing out that it’s hilarious in the extreme when Roberts whinges about how “nobody respects the court” and professes to care so deeply about his and the court’s legacy, when it’s blindingly clear that six of them do not even give the most minuscule sliver of a fuck.
I just know it in my soul that right before Roberts dies, he will publish an Op-Ed in the New York Times saying, “I regret enabling fascism :( I had no way to know, I’m just a widdle guy 🥹”
