The first lady, in what Vogue described as a powder pink columnar gown and white opera gloves, wore Dior Couture to Tuesday nights state dinner in honor of Britains King Charles III.
Less remarked upon was the attire, much less the attendance, of six especially notable guests: Chief Justice John Roberts and Associate Justices Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito, Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh and Amy Coney Barrett, each of whom was accompanied by their respective spouses. The Supreme Court contingent represented nearly 10% of the roughly 130 guests, which also included several Fox News journalists and executives, multiple Cabinet secretaries, some tech company titans and a handful of senior White House aides.
And while all six justices nominated by Republican presidents (three by Trump himself) attended the dinner, none of the three justices nominated by Democratic presidents were there, invited or not.
Snip
The presence of the entire conservative wing of the court on Tuesday night just hours before it released a 6-3 decision significantly weakening the Voting Rights Act, and on the eve of oral argument about the legality of the administration ending temporary protected status for Syrian and Haitian immigrants struck some court observers as unusual.
End snip.
Wonder if they had to report to 🍊 what their decision would be?

Pay to play, and rub elbows with royalty, then eat a delicious meal - if and only if you swear and oath of loyalty to the American Mafioso King.
Looks like they took his offer ,.. for a fabulous and marvelous corrupt package deal. Which incidentally included ten free glasses of expensive French champagne,while they enjoyed being in the company of the two Kings.
