Trump's WAR on SCOTUS Continues as He Misinterprets RULINGS - Legal AF



The Trump Administration is now turning and firing on the US Supreme Court, goading it to rule against for political purposes, and how in a new federal filing has even resorted to changing the words of a Supreme Court decision they don't like on Armando Abrego Garcia 9-0 against them.

Michael Popok reports on Judge Xinis who is about to sanction the Trump Administration for discovery abuse as she tries to determine if they are also in contempt of court for their refusal to take steps to bring Armando Abrego Garcia home. - 04/22/2024.

1. Remember in the Oval Office mtg when Trump asked Stephen Miller several times what the verdict was from SCOTUS

and Miller told him they had won; SCOTUS had ruled in their favor. It is entirely possible that he really believes that. It may take Roberts himself telling him to his face what the truth is.
Same dynamic as why he continues to believe tariffs are good because Peter Navarro keeps telling him they are..He is not capable of evaluation on his own.

Someone needs to sit him down - preferably before the actual court - and explain to him in a way he can hopefully comprehend - exactly what the laws are that he continues to break.
