Chief Justice Roberts lashes out at Trump.
"What we have is an extraordinary group of dedicated judges doing their level best to do equal right to those appearing before them. That independent judiciary is something we should all be thankful for," Roberts said.

Guess who responded?

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Sorry Chief Justice John Roberts, but you do indeed have “Obama judges,” and they have a much different point of view than the people who are charged with the safety of our country.

I actually suspect these weren't penned by Orange Droolius. They're a bit too eloquent for him.

I dunno...my guess Trump knows more about Law and Judges than Chief Justice of the Supreme Court...what would Roberts know about anything amirite!?

Trump has asked the Supreme Court to take up the transgender military ban.

He'll get what he wants. Pence will get what he wants. Tony Perkins will get what he wants.

F-ck us, though...

He's already gotten it: attention

Please forgive my ignorance but who precisely is he trying to ban? Transgenders that have fully transitioned via surgeries, those not yet there, both? If someone has fully transitioned is it easily discoverable via their records?

I think all of the above?

If he doesn't want them in the military, he's free to take their place on the front line.

I believe this is right. The ban would be on anyone that in any way can define themselves as transgender.

It's a confusing area for The Boy in Chief, because unlike nearly everyone else his age on the planet, he has not yet transitioned from a seventh grader's mentality. In the world he occupies, the urge to pull girls' brastraps and make armfarts is seen as "different." There's got to be some self loathing there.

I thought Mattis had essentially been stalling/blocking the implementation of that order for months now.

Looks like the Supremes might be taking away a sweet little (post-auction) revenue source from your local poe-poe.

I love the Gorsuch quote in there ... Breyer's was pretty good too.

The court has formally held that most of the Bill of Rights applies to states as well as the federal government, but it has not done so on the Eighth Amendment’s excessive-fines ban.

Justice Neil Gorsuch was incredulous that Indiana Solicitor General Thomas Fisher was urging the justices to rule that states should not be held to the same standard.

Here we are in 2018 still litigating incorporation of the Bill of Rights. Really? Come on, general,” Gorsuch said to Fisher, using the term for holding that constitutional provisions apply to the states.

Justice Stephen Breyer said under Fisher’s reading police could take the car of a driver caught going 5 mph (8 kph) above the speed limit.

“Anyone who speeds has to forfeit the Bugatti, Mercedes or special Ferrari, or even jalopy,” Breyer said.

I see Indiana's Solicitor General takin' a whuppin'.
