MAGA Erupts as Even Amy Coney Barrett Rules Republicans Went Too Far

“Surprisingly, the Supreme Court declined to ‘review’ a Fake Case brought against me by a woman I never met (Decades old celebrity photo line, standing with her husband, does not count!),” Trump wrote. “This Case is really against the United States of America, and all it stands for, and should never be allowed to happen […]

The Supreme Court’s Gun Rulings Are Cherry-Picking American History

After Bruen, states that historically favored greater restrictions on guns rewrote their laws to accommodate the Supreme Court’s ruling. Among those states was Hawaii.

Source: The Washington Post / Getty Trust in the Supreme Court has reached historic lows in recent years under its current 6-3 Republican supermajority.

The Conservative Legal Movement’s New Purity Tests

That helps explain why the movement Trump unleashed increasingly seems incapable of accepting anything less than Ho-style bombast from its next Supreme Court nominee. The Federalist Society, which guided the movement for decades, was more aligned with the establishment Republicanism that MAGA strangled. It managed to ride the tiger of Trump’s first term and cap […]

Trump Thinks the Supreme Court Works For Him

“I ‘Love’ Justice Neil Gorsuch! He’s a really smart and good man, but he voted against me, and our Country, on Tariffs, a devastating move,” Trump wrote. “How do I reconcile this?

Trump Demands Total Loyalty From Supreme Court Justices He Appointed

“And so over the course of seven months we just kind of found these moments where I might be able to do some work, take the kids with me, do a road trip—and our motto is, ‘To love America is to see America.’” Duffy continued, “There’s so much to see in this beautiful country.” (He […]

The Question That Torpedoed Trump’s Birthright Citizenship Case

“We could just take their oil. But, you know, I’m not sure that the people in our country have the patience to do that, which is unfortunate. You know, they want to see it end. If we stayed there, I, you know, I’d prefer just to take the oil. We could do it so easily. […]

Supreme Court Justices Ask Where in Constitution Trump Is Getting This

On Truth Social late last month, Phillips wrote, “I know what I’ve experienced, I know Who I serve.” Replying to another detractor, Phillips posted, “I have no regrets for my words nor my faith in my Savior, Jesus Christ.

Where Do Conservative Supreme Court Justices Get Their Information?

That plan fell apart, however, when Fox News election experts called Arizona for Biden on Election Night and demolished his hopes of proclaiming an early victory. (Whether this plan would have worked anyway is also doubtful, since Trump’s post-election lawsuits were consistently rejected by the courts.) Trump spent the post-election period claiming that he lost […]

The Supreme Court Has Abandoned All Pretense

Unsurprisingly, the conservative justices apparently agreed with that view. The other parental plaintiffs, however, argued that the California law intruded upon their rights as parents, which they said were guaranteed by the Fifth Amendment’s Due Process Clause.

The Supreme Court Fractures While Striking Down Trump’s Tariff Policy

Justice Clarence Thomas went even further to make the baffling and novel argument that Congress could not delegate “core legislative power, which is the power to make substantive rules setting the conditions for deprivations of life, liberty, or property” to the executive branch, but could freely delegate the “power to impose duties on imports” and […]

Trump Attacks Conservative Supreme Court Justices Who Blocked Tariffs

“The Democrats on the Court are thrilled, but they will automatically vote ‘NO’ against ANYTHING that makes America Strong and Healthy Again. They, also, are a Disgrace to our Nation,” he continued. “Others think they’re being ‘politically correct,’ which has happened before, far too often, with certain Members of this Court when, in fact, they’re […]
