Trump Versus the World

The Supreme Court seat matters more than ever.

Trump Versus the World

LAWYERS FIGHT: Hey, all you civics teachers. Remember Marbury v. Madison (1803)? Now it’s time to teach Trump v. the World (2017).

As the xenophobic Muslim travel ban ping-pongs between the White House and the courts, the question of who’s going to win this game of king of the hill is heading toward the Supremes.

These days, the court is deadlocked 4-4, liberal and conservative. But lookee here: President Trump’s new boy, Neil Gorsuch, is headed for the vacant “stolen seat” on the court as fast as Republicans can get him there as a fifth vote.
