The Supreme Court handed Donald Trump a big defeat and two small ones as it closed its session yesterday with a bang.
But the court, which has three Trump appointees, has also ruled against the president in other cases.
Trump, to no one’s surprise, praised the positive and tore down the bad decisions.
So the atmosphere was ready for all kinds of media.
RECENT SUPREME COURT DECISION ON IMMIGRANTS WILL CAUSE AMERICANS TO ‘DIE AND SUFFER’ LAWYER WARNS

Perhaps the most outrageous decision was the court’s upholding of Trump’s $5 million payment to author E. Jean Carroll for her claims of being defamed and sexually assaulted in a Bergdorf Goodman dressing room in 1996.
Trump’s reaction: “Incredibly, the Supreme Court has refused to ‘review’ the False Case brought against me by a woman I have never met (a photo line of a decades-old celebrity, standing with her husband, does not count!) I will continue to fight this weapons incident and the Lawsuit against me, including the frivolous defamation claim, with all my might and power.”
But you have run out of appeal. The Supreme Court simply rejected it. It’s over.
SUPREME COURT CALLS ‘DAMAGED’ AND ‘DISTURBING’ DECISION ON BIRTHDAY
You know what’s interesting?
All the judicial nominees testified before the Senate that they would only call balls and hit, as John Roberts once put it, and the lawmakers nodded.
But as soon as the new appointees vote for justice against Trump and his team, they criticize him for not holding back — in other words, failing the political integrity test they flunked during the impeachment hearings.
The target du jour is Amy Coney Barrett, the Trump nominee who wrote the opinion in the 5-4 case where she and Roberts joined the liberals.

Days after Election Day.
To the right it went fast. Conservative writer Hans Mahncke said of X that “the worst thing is that he will be around pushing leftist policies for the next 40 years.”
Barrett disputed Monday whether Trump would fire the Fed governor, saying it would be unfair to base their decision on Trump’s emergency request.
For that job, for a lifetime, you need tough skin.
Of the three major cases decided yesterday, the most important is the court rejecting Trump’s attempt to end the right to birthright citizenship, where anyone born on US soil is considered an American citizen.

Barrett, along with the chief justice, joined court officials in saying this was a violation of the 14th Amendment, which deals with the equal rights of citizens and was ratified in 1868 to protect the rights of newly freed slaves.
Barrett has deep convictions based on his work as a Notre Dame law professor, and deep religious convictions as a Catholic, who is also associated with a benevolent Christian community called the Praise People.
Some allies of Trump, said the New York Times, called for justice, with seven children and two black children being adopted in Haiti, DEI employment.
Barrett wrote this week’s majority opinion, in that 5-4 case, in favor of a Mississippi law that allows mail-in ballots to be counted after Election Day.
The president, who despises mail-in voting, called it “a big loss.”

In two other major cases decided yesterday, the high court allowed political parties to contact candidates directly, and upheld the right of states to prevent natural men from participating in women’s sports.
“Once,” Barrett wrote in his memoirs, “when other judges shared in my delusional vision, my chambers celebrated with a bottle of fake champagne.
He voted, for example, to reinstate the death penalty for the Boston Marathon bomber, even though he is against the death penalty.

Ultimately, the strong backlash against Amy Coney Barrett says more about her critics, and sometimes directed at other judges, than it says about her.
They feel drunk because they want him to politically support the man who elected him.
But that is not judicial independence.
