Scott Dworkin - The Fourth Of July: 8 Times The Trump Regime Lost--and Lost Big

I know what this Fourth of July feels like. Fireworks over a country where the regime is trying to decide who counts as American, and whose family gets hunted.

1. THE COURT SAID IT: CITIZENS AT BIRTH
On Tuesday, the Supreme Court struck down the regime’s order to end birthright citizenship. The 6-3 ruling was plain: every baby born on US soil is an American, and Chief Justice John Roberts wrote that under the Constitution, “they are citizens at birth.” Trump put three justices on that Court—two of them looked at his order and told him no.

2. THE ABUSE VERDICT STANDS—FOR GOOD
That same day, the Supreme Court refused to hear Trump’s appeal of the $5 million verdict for sexually abusing writer E. Jean Carroll. It stands now, for good. He fought it for years—through a jury and an appeals court—and lost at every level. Three of the nine justices are his own picks, and not one wrote a single word in his defense.

3. MORE THAN TEN COURTS KILLED THE VOTER GRAB
The regime demanded the private voter records of entire states—names, birthdates, even partial Social Security numbers. A federal appeals court threw out its case against Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson, and Pennsylvania’s Chief Judge Cathy Bissoon tossed another, ruling the regime had no right to the data it was after. In more than ten courtrooms now, the voter grab is winless.
