The lower federal courts repeatedly have had their orders and injunctions against Trump administration programs halted by the Supreme Court. In the travel cases, multiple stays were issued and when the case finally reached the Supreme Court on the merits, Trump won. This is not a matter of pro-Trump bias, but of out-of-control lower courts, particularly at the District Court level, where judges have overstepped their bounds to substitute judicial preferences for those of the executive branch in which the constitution vests matters related to entry into the country, among other things.

Monday, the Supreme Court issued an order allowing the Trump administration's "public charge" rule to proceed, pending further appeals. The rule issued by the Department of Homeland Security would make it more difficult for immigrants to obtain immigration benefits if they are likely to use public assistance.

The U.S. Supreme Court has blocked a subpoena issued by the House Committee on Oversight and Reform to Trump's accounting firm, pending a full appeal. So while the Stay is temporary, it likely will last several months until the appeal is decided. This is part of a full-scale assault by Democrat controlled entities at the federal and state level to obtain (and then leak, of course) Trump's personal financial and tax information. There is a related petition pending regarding a grand jury subpoena to the same accounting firm from the Manhattan District Attorney's Office, which presents similar but distinct legal issues.

On August 13, 2019, we wrote about an extraordinary Amicus Brief filed by Senator Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI) on behalf of himself and several other Democrat Senators. The Brief was extraordinary because it threatened the Justices with a potential restructuring of the Court if the Justices didn't dismiss as "moot" the first big 2nd Amendment case the Court has taken in a decade. The Brief was panned by right, left, and center as a thinly-veiled and inappropriate threat.

When will these people learn that their ways to voice their displeasure is the only way to push people away from their cause? Protesters blocked the street outside of the Supreme Court on Sunday to mark Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh's one-year anniversary. They screamed, "Impeach the motherf*cker!" before they made their way to Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell's house.
