    They’ve been ruling against him from the beginning. I’m always puzzled that people seem to think the judges are his allies or owe him anything. Once they’re on the bench he has zero power over them.

      For many he is (seen as) their path to promotion — and that is substantial power.

      It’s only the Supreme Court where he doesn’t have any power. And there we have seen ample proof that corruption and greed for money or social standing can drive their decisions.

      It’s really about the power Trump has over the oligarchs that adopt judges to sway their opinions with lavish gifts.
