You're counting on the Supreme Court???

I think Trump has pix of the head of SCOTUS with a little boy and a sheep {and maybe a chicken}, so yeah, I'm counting on SCOTUS, but only by 5-4 as Amy, the bitch, has turned like all split tails on SCOTUS.

Never put another 8unt on SCOTUS---8 = a, b, c, or p...you decide.

[Political Junkie Too]

Going all the way back to 1801 and the transition from Adams to Jefferson, the outgoing administration has been trying to insert loyalists into five-year positions within the incoming administration.

James Madison simply tabled William Marbury's commission and declared it void (SCOTUS disagreed). Now it looks like Congress tried to create safe-haven five-year positions inside the Executive branch to insert their loyalists beyond the reach of the President.

With the notable exception of Thomas and Alito, the Supreme Court is incompetent—and at a time when the United States desperately needs heroes on the Court.

Trump needs to pull a how-many-divisions-has-the-court like so many of his predecessors. He won't, because he is too tightly wedded to the Golden Age of American civics with its assumption that we don't need to check whether the rule of law obtains, we can just marry ourselves to reciting its formalisms. At his age, and with his (very public) life's history, for him to overturn so cherished an assumption is too much to ask.

Turley is usually right in his legal analysis.
