Today I learned that, since April, the Supreme Court of the United States has sided with Trump in all 15 rulings it has issued on the President’s emergency requests. Of those 15 rulings, the court has only written 3 majority opinions. 7 have come with no explanation at all.

I don’t have to convince anyone here of what’s going on in America, obvs. I just wanted to share because this fact surprised me. I didn’t realize that they weren’t even justifying their decisions, which normally they do.

    Republicans had control of the Senate when Obama’s last appointment came up and they refused to even allow for an appointment hearing to happen.

      Republicans used the excuse that it was too close to the election, then when the next spot opened up they rushed through their own pick even closer to that election.

      Cheating hypocrites.
