I have lost all faith in this Supreme Court. They'll use any excuse to find in the traitor's favor.

More and more I believe that Justice Roberts must be on the Epstein list. The corruption in the Court is simply undeniable.

SCOTUS is fully responsible for this entire mess. We Americans pride ourselves on getting rid of the King and the Queen and then we went and replaced them with 9 kings and queens for life, 6 of whom are in dumpy's back pocket. OUTRAGEOUS !!!

If they are true conservatives and not Trump sycophants, they will rule against tariffs.

The halls of the SC are no longer hallowed. Any degree of “justice” coming out of this court has become “unexpected.”
