32. He doesn't want loyalty, but fealty
Sun Jun 1, 2025, 05:47 PM
Jun 2025

Loyalty to Trump is a one way street. In his tiny, mushroom sized and shaped, lizard brain, he thinks "Trump appointed judge" means someone who will rule exactly like he wants and who will probably take his "perfect phone calls" so that he can tell them how to rule (who wants to bet he has been calling judges and some are refusing to talk to him before they rule?). As has already been said, instead he is getting right leaning judges who follow the law and don't reflexively do what the guy who appointed them wants them to do.

As much as I still disagree with the 9-0 decision against Colorado last year allowing Trump on the ballot, all of the SCOTUS justices showed judicial independence (and oops-destroyed our Democracy in the process, but hey).
