Supreme Court lets Trump's WH ballroom construction continue for now.
Before Trump, SCOTUS only overturned lower court rulings at a rate of 9%. It was extremely rare. Now, it seems as if the supreme court almost always is overturning the lower courts in favor of Trump. That reeks of corruption.

There’s fresh evidence that the White House hatched a scheme to punish an American state because it didn’t free a convicted felon the president likes.
“I’ve never seen anything like it,” a federal judge said. “I’ve never even imagined something like it.”
Why isn't this a bigger scandal?

Supreme Court's Alabama redistricting ruling marks striking reversal of its previous stance

The heart of our constitutional crisis in one exchange between me and Sec. Mullin. When asked a simple question - if he will obey court orders - he says he will not because some court orders are "politicized".
That's not how democracy works. And that's why we are in a crisis.
