Supreme Court Smacks Trump Around A Little

[jon-nyc]

Odd for a member of the Supreme Court who just formally reviewed the lower court’s order to call it an ‘unchecked power’.

He says this like its a bad thing.

(though to be clear I doubt its true)

Also Kavanaugh was hardly looking at him admiringly.

The decision he's reacting sets precedent which gives this unchecked power to the lower courts to do this thing.

No it would always and forever be appealable to the Supreme Court.

Oh, you found an absolute, categorical way to read Alito's words so that they're completely absurd, and indicative of a total lack of basic knowledge of the law. That's reasonable.

He was emoting, not reasoning. So yeah, the more partisan justices can be found to say some odd things some times. The top two partisans, he and Sotomayor, have both been guilty of it more than others.

The bigger drama is Trump saying to Roberts "Thank you, I won't forget it" as if Roberts did him a favor (maybe he did). Scandal! (not really)

As for Barrett, I'm disappointed in several of her rulings.

You are not teh only one. LOL

Amy Coney Barrett's conservative credentials ought to be impeccable. The Supreme Court justice was appointed to her seat by President Donald Trump during his first term, and she provided one of the votes that overturned Roe v. Wade. But recent cases indicate she is not an automatic vote for the president's priorities, and she is drawing the right's scrutiny as a result.

Barrett may be the "crucial vote in Trump cases," said The New York Times. She was the only one of three justices appointed by Trump who voted against his administration's emergency request to freeze foreign aid, providing the critical margin in the 5-4 ruling against the president. The result suggested Trump cannot count on the court's 6-3 conservative supermajority to back "every element of his efforts to expand the authority of the executive branch." That has enraged some conservatives. "The power has gone to her head," said conservative podcaster Mark Levin.

Barrett's vote on the foreign aid freeze "sparked a MAGA meltdown," said The Daily Beast. Barrett, the lone woman conservative justice, is "another DEI hire," said Trumpist influencer Mike Cernovich. Other influential activists on the Trumpist right echoed those criticisms. Barrett's vote is "a big problem," said journalist Eric Daugherty.

LOL, I love this misconception…

"every element of his efforts to expand the authority of the executive branch.

The guy is limiting the scope of the Executive Branches. He’s reducing their roles. He’s actually weakening the Executive agencies.
