What Trump's $2 Billion Loss at the Supreme Court Really Tells Us

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

63% : And for that to be the outcome of the first huge clash between Trump and the Supreme Court in his second term -- it's quite surprising and extraordinary.
61% : That's more than I thought or feared that we would be getting from this court, especially this early in the administration, when Trump is still kind of popular.
51% : Signing on to this dissent feels to me like an escalation in his sort of loyalty to Trump.
45% : A lot of us thought the pause would signal a willingness on the part of the majority to lend Trump a hand.
45% : Are they going to say Trump controls the entire executive branch, if not the entire government and country, and he gets to do whatever he wants?
42% : Dahlia Lithwick: When Trump came into office, his administration froze virtually all foreign aid that had already been appropriated by Congress, including money for programs that people around the world literally relied on to survive.
24% : Maybe they're turned off by the fact that the Justice Department is embarrassing itself, raising some really thin, tacky arguments that the immunity decision makes Trump a king.
15% : On a Slate Plus bonus episode of Amicus, Dahlia Lithwick and Mark Joseph Stern discussed what the decision augurs for the court's treatment of Donald Trump in the coming years.
12% : At no point prior does Alito seriously grapple with the reality that Trump is illegally impounding appropriated funds.
