Hill Article, Non-Opinion, "Supreme Court Pays Dividends For Trump"

"President Trump is notching significant wins with the Supreme Court, demonstrating just how consequential it was that he was able to appoint three justices during his first term."

"The decisions this week are just the latest sign that the conservative majority he helped build continues to play a key role in advancing his second-term agenda."

"In ordinary speech, no one would say that a person ‘arrives in’ a place — for example, a house, a city, or a country — before the person enters that place,” Justice Samuel Alito wrote for the six-member conservative majority."

"Sotomayor argued that under the majority’s interpretation, the MS St. Louis, a boat that carried many Jewish refugees fleeing Nazi Germany, would again be turned away, and she warned that people fleeing persecution and violence would be more vulnerable to “dangerous conditions”

“The consequences of today’s decision are predictable,” she read from her dissent. “More people will die."

Alito reportedly looked like his head was about to explode after Sotomayer delivered her dissent before the court but, tsk tsk, according to the court:

"Justice Alito was notified in advance by Justice Sotomayor's chambers that she would be reading a dissent from the bench. It was a misunderstanding on Justice Alito's part."

That's not the only "misunderstanding" Sammy has in his head...
