The U.S. Supreme Court seemed poised Wednesday to reject U.S. President Donald Trump’s restrictions on birthright citizenship in a consequential case that was magnified by his unparalleled presence in the courtroom.
If anything, the more he leans on them the less they do his bidding. They’re all part of the same fascist project, but some of them want to do it the old way where they pretend to be serious people doing a job.

Take a listen to the oral arguments and the Court’s responses. They’re gonna strike this one down for sure, possibly even 9-0.
Definitely gonna do this, I just read NPR’s article and agree that they’re not letting this one fly.
