Missed this yesterday: Trump’s bad day in court…

[pdq]

President loses three times within 90 minutes on DEI, sanctuary cities and voter registration
Federal judges across the country dealt blows to executive orders and other policy maneuvers

First, Trump’s executive orders targeting so-called “sanctuary cities” were deemed unconstitutional attempts to “coerce” local officials into enforcing the president’s immigration policies.

Next, the president’s attempts to withhold federal funding from schools that engage with diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives were labeled “textbook viewpoint discrimination” that likely violate the First Amendment.

And another judge blocked parts of the president’s sweeping executive order targeting election administration and voting rights, including a requirement that voter registration forms ask for proof of citizenship.

So much winning!

Of course, we’ll eventually have to see how John Roberts is feeling on the various days they bring all this to SCOTUS.

If we just let the Republican President do whatever he wants, Thomas will have more time to enjoy his Winnebago. Fear not, he'll come back to town when a Democratic policy needs slapped down.

SCOTUS may just take a pass and let the anti Rump rulings stand. Some of these judges ruling against him are staunch conservatives. Can't yell " Obama judge! "

That assumes that someone will enforce those rulings.
