Trump calls for ‘new justices’ on Supreme Court, as conservatives rage at Roberts
https://www.foxnews.com/politics/trump-justices-supreme-court-conservatives-roberts
President Trump, in the wake of Thursday's defeat at the Supreme Court in his efforts to repeal the Obama-era Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program,
called for new justices as conservatives took aim at Chief Justice John
Roberts for what they called a “pattern” of siding with the liberal
wing in key decisions.
While Democrats and immigration activists cheered the decision,
conservatives fumed at the ruling, accusing the justices of preventing
Trump from overturning what they have long seen as an illegal executive
order. As the day went on, their ire turned to Roberts -- the Bush
appointee who has a history of deciding outcomes favorable to liberals
by siding with the liberal bloc.

The Trump presidency is at its absolute lowest point right now
https://edition.cnn.com/2020/06/18/politics/donald-trump-supreme-court-coronavirus-george-floyd/index.html
Everywhere Donald Trump looks right now, he sees political fires that threaten to engulf his presidency.
The
Supreme Court, with two hand-picked Trump approved justices, has handed
the President two stunning rebukes in the last week -- one on gay, lesbian and transgender rights in the workplace and the other, on Thursday morning, blocking the President from ending the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program for children brought to America illegally.
In Congress, Senate Republicans have shown increasing willingness to buck Trump. On Wednesday alone, every GOP senator wore a mask at a press conference
announcing a package of police reforms. Tennessee Sen. Lamar Alexander
insisted that there will be a second surge of the coronavirus and Iowa
Sen. Chuck Grassley announced he would block future legislation until
the White House explains its recent spate of firings of inspectors general.
Trump's
repeated attempts to suggest that the United States has effectively
beaten the coronavirus are belied daily by reports that almost half the states in the country are experiencing an increase in cases. His push to return to the campaign trail on Saturday in Tulsa, Oklahoma, is widely regarded as endangering public health.
Trump's
absolutely tone-deaf response to the death of George Floyd while in
police custody in Minneapolis -- most notably a photo-op of Trump
holding a Bible outside of St. John's church in Washington -- has been roundly criticized,
including by many top former White House officials. "Donald Trump is
the first president in my lifetime who does not try to unite the
American people -- does not even pretend to try," said former Defense Secretary James Mattis earlier this month. "Instead he tries to divide us."
Supreme Court rules against Trump administration bid to end DACA program

President Trump quickly reacted to the decision, which came days
after an opinion from his own appointee Justice Neil Gorsuch that said
employment discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender identity
was prohibited under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act.
"These
horrible & politically charged decisions coming out of the Supreme
Court are shotgun blasts into the face of people that are proud to call
themselves Republicans or Conservatives," Trump tweeted Thursday
morning, suggesting that the Second Amendment could be at risk if he
does not get elected and have the chance to potentially appoint more
justices.
Supreme Court blocks Trump from ending DACA
https://edition.cnn.com/2020/06/18/politics/daca-immigration-supreme-court/index.html
The Supreme Court on Thursday blocked the Trump administration's attempt to end Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, an Obama-era program that protects hundreds of thousands of immigrants brought to the US as children from deportation.
The 5-4 ruling
was written by Chief Justice John Roberts and joined by Justices Ruth
Bader Ginsburg, Elena Kagan, Stephen Breyer and Sonia Sotomayor.
The Unhappy Liberals Inside Trump’s Favorite Network

at their own network’s coverage of national protests and the
coronavirus.
Trump bashes 'washed-up' Bolton over forthcoming book, says ex-national security adviser 'broke the law'
https://www.foxnews.com/media/trump-bashes-washed-up-bolton-broke-the-law
President Trump lashed out at former national security adviser John Bolton in an exclusive interview on "Hannity" on Wednesday night, saying Bolton "broke the law" by writing a forthcoming book about his time in the Trump administration.
"He
was a washed-up guy," Trump told host Sean Hannity, referring to
Bolton. "He couldn't get Senate-confirmed. So I gave him a
non-Senate-confirmed position. I could just put him there, see how we
worked. And I wasn't very enamored."
John Bolton betrayed his country
https://edition.cnn.com/2020/06/17/opinions/boltons-staggering-profile-in-cowardice-honig/index.html
John
Bolton has offered the nation a staggering profile in cowardice. He has
left no doubt about his own monumental betrayal of his country.
By
his own belated admission, Bolton directly witnessed not one but
multiple acts that could have been cited in the impeachment of President
Donald Trump. But Bolton did nothing about it while he held a powerful
post in the Trump administration. And he stayed quiet and took cover
when Congress and the nation pleaded with him to speak out during the
impeachment process. Yet now that he has entered book promo mode, Bolton
suddenly has summoned the spine that he was sorely missing back when it
would have made an actual difference.
Bolton had ample opportunity
to speak up throughout the monthslong impeachment of Trump over the
Ukraine scandal. House investigators first asked that he appear to give
voluntary testimony; Bolton was a no-show. Bolton then retained counsel,
who requested a subpoena and promised to go to the courts for
adjudication.
What we learned from John Bolton's eye-popping tale of working with Trump
https://edition.cnn.com/2020/06/17/politics/bolton-book-what-we-learned/index.html
John Bolton details a troubling and shocking series of allegations
in a new book about his tenure as President Donald Trump's national
security adviser, alleging Trump requested Chinese help to win the 2020
election, that the President argued Venezuela is part of the US, that he
casually offered to intervene in the criminal justice system for
foreign leaders and that his own senior officials mocked him behind his
back.
