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.
What gets my goat is that it’s plain to everyone on the Supreme Court what they are doing and why. All you have to do is read any of Thomas’s dissents in the past 10 years to understand that this man is either a complete amateur, has entirely checked out, or understands that he doesn’t actually need to do work anymore to destroy the system that attempted to reject him from the post on account of being, y’know, an amateur who could be bought for the price of a fucking motor home.
Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas told his law clerks in the ‘90s that he wanted to serve for 43 years to make liberals’ lives ‘miserable’
