Supreme Strikeout

So how are all of these Supreme Court rulings working out for Trump?  Okay, let's review:

This month, the Court ruled that the 1964 Civil Rights Act, while originally written and passed with blacks in mind, protects any underserved and underprivileged minority, hence it bans discrimination against homosexuals, bisexuals, transsexuals, and any other sexual you can think of.  (LGBT?  Sorry, I'm not into unpronounceable acronyms.)  Justice Neil Gorsuch -  a Trump appointee - wrote the majority opinion.

The Court also ruled that the state of California does not have to acquiesce to the federal government and provide state troopers or any other forms of assistance to enforce immigration laws.  It's a solidly conservative opinion, upholding the rights of the states guaranteed by the Tenth Amendment.

And finally, the Court ruled against Trump's effort to end the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, meant to help immigrant children brought to this country in infancy by their parents stay in the U.S.  The kids covered by the program aren't out of the woods yet, but Chief Justice John Roberts isn't going to let Trump end the program as he wants to, because the procedure Trump has followed is unconstitutional.

And this all happened within a week.

Once again, we were reminded that the Supreme Court is independent, it answers to no President, and lifetime appointments are not necessarily a bad thing.

Just remember to vote for Biden in November.  Because, all of that notwithstanding, Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg is 87 years old.
