"On Dec. 23 three of the six person Trump majority on the US Supreme Court (John Roberts, Amy Coney Barrett and Matt Kavanaugh), declined to give Trump an early Christmas present. They joined the three person liberal minority in ruling that Trump sending the National Guard into Chicago was unconstitutional. This came after an 80+% win rate for Trump in Supreme Court emergency docket decisions. What is going on here? Is this a case of the rats leaving the sinking ship? Consider the history: "For years now, Supreme Court watchers have been commenting that chief injustice John Roberts has balanced his support for Trump with a concern that the Supreme Court would be seen as apolitical. Then, last July, he threw caution to the winds by not only ruling that Trump – and let’s be clear, this is about Trump, not about presidents in general – is immune from any legal prosecution for almost anything that he did while in office. In the weeks and months leading up to that ruling many court watchers were expecting the opposite. They were expecting that the appeals court ruling would be allowed to stand. The only explanation is that Roberts must have figured that if Trump came back into office it really didn’t matter how people perceive the Supreme Court, because Trump would be able to ram anything through that he wanted, including in the face of broad opposition. In other words, it would be a major step towards one person dictatorship. So who cares how the Supreme Court is viewed, Roberts figured." read more: https://oaklandsocialist.com/2025/12/27/scotus-rules-against-trump-rats-leaving-a-sinking-ship/
