Supreme Court

University of Michigan Law School Professor Leah Litman spoke to Mehdi Hasan on Thursday about her new book, which details the way that conservatives on the Supreme Court have "embraced" "unabashed lawlessness."

The book, Lawless: How the Supreme Court Runs on Conservative Grievance, Fringe Theories, and Bad Vibes, uses a lot of pop culture references to make complex legal matters more straightforward for non-lawyers.

Donald Trump's White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller got a "direct" message from seven of nine Supreme Court justices, a former federal prosecutor said Saturday.

Ex-prosecutor Glenn Kirschner over the weekend published a video entitled, "The Supreme Court AGAIN Tells Trump NO UNCONSTITUTIONAL DEPORTATIONS Of Venezuelan Immigrants," in which the legal analyst highlighted a pattern in which at least seven Supreme Court justices have been standing up to the president.

The Supreme Court might just be giving Donald Trump enough rope to hang himself in a court of law, an ex-prosecutor said on Saturday.

Former federal prosecutor Joyce Vance over the weekend weighed in on the Supreme Court's recent hearing in a case involving a controversial law used to deport immigrants without due process.

"Trump is now threatening Supreme Court justices who ruled against him," Democratic influencer Harry Sisson said on Saturday.

That is just one of the notable people who over the weekend accused the president of lobbing indirect threats at the members of the mostly conservative Supreme Court, many of whom Trump himself appointed.

Donald Trump has been lashing out at the Supreme Court since it handed him a loss on the issue of immigration, and on Saturday he went as far as to distribute a MAGA lawyer's plan to "release 'terrorists' near the homes of Supreme Court justices."

Former GOP staffer Mike Davis has made headlines for his social media comments in the past, and was rumored to be on Trump's list for attorney general. Recently, he posted a plan to get back at the Supreme Court justices for not ruling in line with MAGA.

The Supreme Court is “captured by far-right conspiracy theories,” according to law professor Leah Litman. She sat down with Salon, breaking down what she thinks is breaking the high court.

“The Supreme Court has been running on these fast and loose characterizations of the facts for a while,” Litman said. “We all can have a good laugh at the idea that "Uncle Bobby's Wedding" is a personal attack on people who don't believe in marriage equality. But the uncomfortable reality is that a conspiracy theory-laden universe is in full swing at the Supreme Court.”

President Donald Trump doubled down on his displeasure with the Supreme Court Friday morning.

“THE SUPREME COURT IS BEING PLAYED BY THE RADICAL LEFT LOSERS, WHO HAVE NO SUPPORT, THE PUBLIC HATES THEM, AND THEIR ONLY HOPE IS THE INTIMIDATION OF THE COURT, ITSELF. WE CAN’T LET THAT HAPPEN TO OUR COUNTRY!” The President posted on Truth Social.

Reacting to conservative Justice Amy Coney Barrett jumping in and siding with liberal Justice Elena Kagan during a hearing on birthright citizenship, a CNN analyst noted her tendency of late to deviate from the policies of the man who gave her a lifetime appointment to the Supreme Court.

Sitting on a panel with host Audie Cornish, CNN analyst Edward-Isaac Dovere sat and listened to clips of Coney Barrett grilling Donald Trump's Solicitor General John Sauer about the president's executive order which is at the heart of the historic legal case.

Following the clip, host Cornish asked, "I'm going to translate a little. There's been this conversation about whether there can be kind of class action lawsuits, and that's the way people can get relief rather than going to a judge in any particular state. But it's the tone, right? Let's pretend we don't know the words, but the tone of her jumping in and saying, are you really going to do that? What did you hear in these moments?"

"I would say that from years of watching or listening to supreme court proceedings and trying to guess where they're going, we should all learn that," Dovere offered. "It's a tricky game."

"Amy Coney Barrett was put on the Supreme Court by Donald Trump," he reminded the panel. "She is a has a pretty strong record of voting in the way that one would expect a Trump nominee to vote. On decisions she has diverged a little bit, but not in this way that gets her –– that seems to me to validate this idea that she has completely left the Trump side."

Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett set off a firestorm among conservatives on Thursday morning after she admonished Donald Trump's solicitor general for ducking questions from colleague Justice Elana Kagan.

During the oral arguments over birthright citizenship, Kagan pressed Solicitor General D. John Sauer to make the case for Trump's executive order and shot down one answer by telling the attorney, "I mean, that's a lot of words and I don't have an answer for if one thinks — and, you know, look, there are all kinds of abuses of nationwide injunctions. But I think that the question that this case presents is that if one thinks that, it's quite clear that the [executive order] is illegal, how does one get to that result?"

Solicitor General D. John Sauer was placed under fire from Supreme Court Justices Sonya Sotomayor and Elena Kagan at the so-called “birthright citizenship” hearing.

“You said to us we'd have to wait until there was a final judgment,” Sotomayor said. “You're not sure you would respect the judgment of every circuit. You're not sure that you would respect even a final judgment of the Supreme Court.”

Donald Trump's true intentions have been revealed when it comes to his immigration policies, a former federal prosecutor has said.

Ex-prosecutor Joyce Vance, who frequently comments on the president and his legal matters, weighed in ahead of a Supreme Court hearing connected to the Trump administration's attempt to roll back the notion of birthright citizenship.
