How bad of a president do you have to be, to have your own hand-picked judge rule against you?

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Ironically it means his picks were actually a little bit decent because they are willing to stand up to him and for the law, even if its just a little bit. Still shitty but a very tiny bit decent.
That doesn't mean they're decent. It means they recognize that handing power to Trump reduces their own power, and they are ruling accordingly. At least thats the hope. We'll see how long the Supreme Court keeps its "independence" when the orange fuck sicks his drooling brain dead followers on them.
He didn’t hand pick them.
The heritage foundation hand picked them. They used him to get their ideologues on the bench. Now we’re seeing the real puppet masters.
The Justices may be doing their own political calculus. Trump’s gone in four years, their job is for life, so long as they don’t dilute the role of the judiciary to the point they no longer matter.
those corrupt fuckbags on scotus deserve whatever consequences they face for making him invincible.
j/k there's no such thing as consequences for GOP
Until the leopards come for your face.
Turns out they're not quite corrupt enough for his taste.
Meh, these type of infighting doss not mean anything. Trump is a miser that exerts pressure by complaining about his underlings. The supreme court has done it's job to undermine US democracy by letting a criminal run for president.
On the same note, Musk criticizing the BBB is also just Musk's style of overly criticizing his employees when things don't go his way. It is more of a disorientation tactic, the same chaotic energy that keeps producing meaningless news that overflow the working memory of adults. It's all part of the routine.
Hm. Maybe she's not his type either.
