1. RUTH BADER GINSBERG IS MY HERO!!!!!!!!

She just had surgery, and came back for this

I must also get accolades to Justice Roberts on this

[disndat]

5. 2 Wows

For RBG getting out of recuperating bed to vote for this and to Chief Justice Roberts for voting with the 4 of his progressives members.
Heroic acts for both of them.

2. Good idea, Donald, pissing off John Roberts.

Now you've flipped the court.

Don't think, for a minute, this wasn't the Chief Justice giving you a huge "FUCK YOU"

[Honeycombe8]

6. Bwahahahaha. The Chief Justice is saying, "I dare ya. I double dare ya to say anything."

And "Who's your mama?"

[marble falls]

3. Whomp whomp. Had no doubt this would not be allowed.

4. 'The court was closely divided, with Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. joining the four-member

liberal wing in turning down the administration’s request for a stay of a trial judge’s order blocking the program.

The court’s brief order gave no reasons for its action. Justices Clarence Thomas, Samuel A. Alito Jr., Neil M. Gorsuch and Brett M. Kavanaugh said they would have granted the stay.'

7. Phew.Close one. The Chief didn't side w/the Trump wing. But don't expect this in most cases.

The Chief Justice has a decidedly conservative view, though moderate compared to the Trump wing.

And now Justice Ginsberg is ill again.

12. Yes, Roberts has a decidedly conservative view of the constitution...

...but he appears to value the constitution over politics. Unlike Alito and Kavanaugh. (too soon to tell about Gorsuch). Thomas always walked in lock step with Scalia, but he's made a couple of surprising judgements since Scalia's death, so he bears watching.

But for all of that it's still a conservative court. I'm just saying trump should not expect SCOTUS to work for him.

8. Those idiots are evil

They give the word 'justice' a bad name. So much for law, decency, fairness, etc. None of that matters - only sucking up to the
economic royalists they associate with socially.

9. What are you talking about?

You support trump's travel ban?

10. I'm sure they are referring to the conservative losers

since they are the ones referred to in the post.

11. I was referring to the corrupt conservatives

named in the message I responded to. Sorry about that!
