Trump Will Clog the Supreme Court with his Mayhem Cases
They may never have time to rule on abortion cases. Thus, the appeals court and lower court rulings will stand removing the State challenges to abortion.
Nobody has seen anything like Trump attempting to block all insight into his private life, and oversight of his government actions. Every request and eventual subpoenas (we hope) for such Constitutionally and legally allowed information and interviews will be blocked, according to Trump with his arms folded and his defiant ‘make-me’ face. All of those will become Supreme Court cases with AG Barr’s rush requests. This includes Trump’s tax returns, and his suspicious dealings with Deutsche Bank. It is also to hear from Campaign and later associates of Trump that have evidence of collusion and obstruction. This is all just to protect the privacy and possible legal violations of a single person, Donald Trump.
Then there all of the suits against the offshore oil drilling, the air an water pollution, and other environmental insults that deregulator-in-chief Trump has visited upon our previously improving environment. These are usually plagued by bad science, since Trump has fired all of the good scientists.
And, there are all of the immigration cases banning Muslim countries, not recognizing refugees for asylum, separating children and not tracking their parents, etc. Sadly, the Court conservatives seem inclined to allow the question of citizenship on the 2020 Census, despite the Constitution requiring that the Census counts everybody.
Then all of the Republican states are passing voting discriminating laws hoping that Trump’s appeals and Supreme Court justices will support them. Unfortunately, that may be the case, for a court that already allowed unlimited and anonymous financing with the Citizen’s United ruling.
The Supreme Court has slowed down to about 75 cases a year.
I haven’t thought of a defining name for this Trump blockage, just starting with Supreme Trumpomania, or Barromania. Then there is Trump Trump’s the Court. Too obvious. The Trumped Court. Better.
People in Law Schools say that the Supreme Court is all about politics. However, while the 5 Justice majority is Republican appointed and loyal, only Gorsuch and Kavanaugh were Trump appointed. The other three Republicans were appointed by real Republicans of the GOP, not by the Constitution ignoring Trump. None of the Justices have to run for re-election, and none have to worry about Trump backing a primary Republican rival to them. Even the Trump appointed Justices owe nothing to Trump. They are fixed for life, and even may have claimed to be fair and independent, as in Kavanaugh’s fraudulent nomination hearings and investigation.
Especially when it comes to throwing 21 million Americans off of health care, and removing pre-existing conditions and other guarantees from others, we expect the Court to worry about the public’s health, and the reputation of the Court. Trump and Barr hid the filing to completely abolish the ACA behind the news of Barr’s Senate Judiciary hearing. If some Republicans on the Supreme Court cannot be independent of Trump, we are all lost.
