Trump COLLAPSES as ALL 9 Supreme Court Justices TURN Against Him

Added: 2026-05-07

[00:00:00]Well, we have some breaking news to get to. The Supreme Court has overturned the Colorado decision to remove former President Donald Trump from the 2024 ballot. The decision holds that only Congress can enforce the 14th Amendment's insurrection clause against federal candidates.

[00:00:14]>> How to respect the immunity.

[00:00:16]>> I mean, limiting presidential immunity should also not be a partisan thing at all. even though it happens to be about Trump were we're discussing but Trump Trump's voters and defenders should understand that we wouldn't want Biden's immunity to be wouldn't want the person holding the office of the executive to significant judicial story developing at the Supreme Court that deserves to be understood clearly and honestly and there is a specific dramatic exaggeration surrounding that story that needs to be corrected before we go any further both matter for evaluating what is actually happening with the court's relationship to Trump's second term from presidency. The genuinely significant real thing, the Supreme Court has been checking Trump's most aggressive assertions of executive authority with a frequency and across ideological composition that is historically notable and genuinely consequential for his second term agenda. The February 2026 to3 tariff ruling with two of his own appointees in the majority against him.

[00:01:10]A unanimous 9 to0 immigration ruling requiring due process before deportation that all nine justices agreed on. a 7-2 ruling in the humanitarian protections case that included conservative justices in a cross ideological majority against specific administration actions. Those are real rulings with real consequences for real people and real policies. and the pattern they reflect. A court with six Republicanappointed justices, including three Trump nominees, is nonetheless imposing specific constitutional limits on specific Trump policy actions is genuinely significant for understanding where the judicial >> and and and save up for the next round of the of the battle, >> right? And it's just it's just something so funny about people and and again I'm not saying this is broadly characteristic of the Democrats or the people who having takes because as you point out most are >> chose not to use the primary process to allow voters to weigh in in a direct democracy precisely because they wanted the party to have more control of the convention then I think all of the arguments about the undemocratic nature of the Democratic party certainly do stand.

[00:02:11]>> Very interesting. Well, we will continue to monitor developments related to this and many other issues coming up next.

[00:02:17]Stay with us.

[00:02:18]>> Repudiation that the actual mixed record does not support. But the real story, a court that is drawing specific constitutional lines around specific categories of presidential conduct, sometimes unanimously, sometimes with cross ideological majorities that include his own appointees, is genuinely significant and genuinely consequential without any all nine turned against him.

[00:02:38]Exaggeration. But before we go any further, real quick, let's be honest.

All right, let's get back to the video. Let's start with the unanimous immigration due process ruling because it is the most striking documented example of all nine justices agreeing on a constitutional limit regarding Trump's policies and it deserves careful examination for what it specifically established. All nine justices agreed that people the Trump administration sought to deport must receive due process notice and a meaningful opportunity to be heard before removal. 9 to zero. Every justice, including the three Trump appointed, including the full conservative supermajority, agreeing that the administration's approach to a specific deportation process violated the constitutional requirement of due process that applies to all persons in the United States, regardless of immigration status. That unanimous consensus on a specific constitutional requirement that the government cannot remove people without giving them notice and a meaningful chance to contest the removal is a specific and significant judicial statement about constitutional limits that do not bend to executive preference regardless of who appointed the justices evaluating the claim. The unanimous nature of that ruling is what makes it most striking. Not 6:3, not 7:2, 9 to 0. every justice on a court with a six to3 conservative liberal split agreeing that the administration's specific deportation approach violated the constitutional floor of due process.

[00:04:16]That is not a court that has turned uniformly against Trump in every area.

[00:04:20]It is a court that found a specific constitutional requirement so clear and so fundamental that it produced unanimous agreement across all nine justices regardless of their individual jurist credential orientations. Come on.

[00:04:32]Nine to zero. every single justice on a due process requirement that the Trump administration's deportation approach violated that is the real documented version of all nine ruling against Trump on a specific issue and it is significant enough on its own terms without the collapse framing that implies it represents the court's total unified rejection of everything Trump is doing and then there is the tariff breing which we have covered extensively in earlier videos but which deserves to be placed in context here specifically for what it reveals about the relationship between Trump's appointees as his policy agenda The February 2026 to3 ruling striking down Trump's sweeping liberation day tariffs included Neil Gorsuch and Amy Coney Barrett, two of Trump's three Supreme Court appointments in the majority against him. Trump publicly attacked them following the ruling. He expected personal loyalty and received constitutional principle instead and the specific pattern of his own appoint applying conservative legal doctrine, the major questions doctrine to strike down his most aggressive economic policy tool is the clearest available demonstration of what judicial independence looks like in practice. The court Trump built is not his court. It is the country's court. And that distinction between a court that applies principles regardless of who appointed the majority and a court that delivers politically predictable outcomes based on the political identity. the president who appointed its members is the most important single fact about the Supreme Court's relationship to Trump's second term. All right, so let's actually get into the full substance of what the pattern of Supreme Court rulings against Trump unanimous 7-2 6 to3 and everything in between actually reveals about the constitutional limits being drawn around his second term agenda. What the cases where he has won reveal about those limits specific and targeted nature and what the complete mixed picture tells you about the relationship between the court and the presidency. Right now, there are several layers here and each one matters. Let's start with the immigration due process ruling in more depth because the specific constitutional principle that produced a 9 to zero consensus is worth examining carefully for what it establishes about the baseline constitutional floor that applies to Trump's immigration enforcement agenda. Regardless of how aggressively the administration pursues that agenda, due process, the constitutional requirement that the government provide notice and a meaningful opportunity to be heard before depriving someone of life, liberty, or property is one of the most foundational and most broadly applicable constitutional requirements in the American legal system. It applies to citizens and non-citizens alike in the United States. It applies regardless of the government's substantive goals. Even when the government has legitimate authority to deport someone, it must follow due process in doing so. and the Trump administration's approach to specific deportation actions, acting without providing adequate notice and without meaningful opportunity to contest the removal violated that constitutional floor in a way that all nine justices found clear enough to produce unanimous agreement that unanimity is the constitutional signal.

[00:07:15]It says that on the specific question of whether the government can remove people without due process, there is no ideological disagreement and no room for discretion based on the administration's policy preferences. The constitutional floor is clear. The administration crossed it and nine justices agreed regardless of their individual orientations on the broader immigration policy questions where judicial perspectives genuinely diverge.

[00:07:37]Understanding what produced the unanimity, a clear constitutional floor being clearly crossed helps you evaluate both the significance of the ruling and its limitations as a signal about the broader court Trump relationship. It does not mean all nine justices are uniformly against Trump's immigration agenda. It means all nine agree on a specific constitutional requirement that constrains how that agenda can be implemented. Now let's talk about the 7 to2 humanitarian protections ruling because the cross ideological majority that included conservative justices alongside the three liberal justices in a ruling against specific Trump administration actions is itself significant for what it reveals about the specific categories of presidential conduct that are generating judicial push back across the ideological spectrum. The 7-2 composition in the ARP versus Trump humanitarian protections case means that the majority included conservative justices who are not uniformly hostile to Trump's agenda, but who found the specific administration action at issue in that case legally deficient. That cross ideological composition like the two Trump appointee composition in the tariff ruling reflects a court that is making specific casebyase assessments based on legal principles rather than a court that has made a global political judgment against Trump. 7-2 is not 9 to0, but it is significantly broader than the court's partisan composition would suggest if the court were simply dividing along political lines on every Trump related question. The cross ideological majorities in the tariff ruling, the humanitarian protections ruling, and other cases with Trump administration parties reflect a judicial institution that is applying constitutional and statutory principles across the ideological spectrum rather than simply voting its political preferences. And that principled application is producing outcomes that sometimes constrain Trump's most aggressive policy actions, not because nine justices have turned against him, but because specific actions have crossed specific legal lines that are clear enough to attract cross ideological agreement. And let's talk about the cases where Trump has won. Because the complete and accurate picture of the court's relationship to his second term requires examining the wins alongside the losses, understanding what the wins reveal about the specific contours of the constitutional map being drawn. Trump has won significant cases at the Supreme Court. The immunity ruling in Trump vers the United States, establishing broad criminal immunity for official acts is a landmark ruling that strengthened his hand in criminal proceedings in fundamental ways. The signal of support for his broad authority to fire leaders of independent agencies represents a significant expansion of presidential control over the executive branch that aligns with his administration's governing philosophy. Multiple decisions upholding executive power over regulatory agencies have given the administration significant latitude in reshaping federal regulation and the general overall success rate on the emergency docket. More than 30 applications with a high grant rate means the court has been a generally favorable backs stop for administration's most challenged policies. While those challenges work through the courts, those wins are real.

[00:10:28]They are significant. They tell you that the court is not uniformly hostile to Trump's power claims or his administration's agenda. and understanding them alongside the losses, the tariffs, the due process immigration ruling, the humanitarian protections case is understanding the complete picture of a court that is making specific constitutional judgments rather than a court that has turned uniformly against a president. Now, let's talk about what Trump's public attacks on his own appointees following the tariff ruling reveal about his fundamental misunderstanding of what judicial independence means and why that misunderstanding matters for evaluating the all nine turned against him narrative. Trump publicly attacked Gorsuch and Barrett after they joined the majority striking down his tariff program. The attacks reflected an expectation of personal loyalty, a belief that judges he appointed should deliver outcomes favorable to his agenda as a form of political reciprocation for their appointments. That expectation is constitutionally illiterate. Judges are not supposed to deliver politically predetermined outcomes as repayment for appointments. They are supposed to apply the law and the constitution to the specific cases before them and reach conclusions based on that application regardless of the political preferences of the president who appointed them. The fact that Gorsuch and Barrett applied the major questions doctrine, a conservative legal principle, to strike down Trump's tariff program, is not betrayal of Trump. It is the fulfillment of their judicial role. and Trump's attacks on them for doing their jobs correctly reveals a fundamental confusion between political loyalty and judicial independence that is itself worth examining as a signal about how he relates to the institutions he is supposed to lead. The all nine turned against him narrative plays into that confusion by framing judicial independence as hostility by treating the court's principled application of constitutional requirements as a unified rejection of Trump rather than as the normal functioning of an independent judicial institution. And let's talk about what the overall pattern of mixed court results, wins and losses, unanimous and divided, 6 to3 and 7 to2 and 9 to0 means for how Trump should realistically understand the court's role in his second term and what it means for how the public should evaluate the accountability story the court is producing. The pattern tells you that the court is drawing specific constitutional lines rather than making a global political judgment. Emergency tariff authority under EPA without congressional authorization, a line the court will not cross. Presidential immunity for official acts, protection the court is willing to provide, due process in deportations, a floor the court will enforce unanimously. Agency head firing authority latitude the court is willing to extend. Each of those specific outcomes reflects the application of specific constitutional principles to specific claims rather than a global political stance toward a specific president. And the pattern of those outcomes, what gets protected and what gets limited is the constitutional map of executive authority that the court is drawing through its secondterm rulings. That map is the real and consequential judicial story of Trump's second term. Not all nine turned against him, not an all clear for everything he wants to do. A specific constitutional map that constrains some tools and protects others based on the application of established principles to specific claims. And let's address the collapse framing directly because the specific implication that Trump has collapsed as a result of the Supreme Court's rulings requires examination for what collapse would actually mean and why the documented mixed record does not support that characterization. A collapse of Trump's presidency would mean the end of his authority to govern, the removal from office, the resignation, the comprehensive defeat of every major policy initiative. None of those things has happened as a result of Supreme Court rulings. His tariff program was struck down and he immediately sought alternative legal authority. His deportation approach was subjected to due process requirements and the administration continued pursuing deportations within those requirements.

[00:14:02]His humanitarian protections approach was limited in a 7-2 ruling and the broader immigration enforcement agenda continued. The court is constraining specific tools without ending his presidency or his policy agenda. Each constraint produces an administrative response, seeking alternative legal authority, modifying the specific approach that was found unconstitutional, continuing the broader agenda within the specific limits the court has imposed. That dynamic judicial constraint producing administrative adaptation rather than comprehensive collapse is the actual relationship between the Supreme Court and the Trump second term and the collapse framing by implying a comprehensive and decisive judicial repudiation misrepresents both what the court has done and what it is capable of doing to a sitting president's governance. All right, let's bring this all the way home because there are three things that matter most about the Supreme Court's relationship to Trump's second term and I want every one of them to land with complete clarity before we wrap up. The first point is about what the 9 to0 due process immigration ruling specifically established about the constitutional floor that applies to Trump's most aggressive immigration enforcement actions and why the unonymity of that ruling tells you something important about where the constitutional limits are clearest. Due process is among the most foundational constitutional requirements in the American legal system. It applies regardless of immigration status. It applies regardless of the government's substantive authority to act. And when the Trump administration's deportation approach violated that floor clearly enough to produce unanimous agreement from all nine justices, including the six Republicanapp appointed justices, including the three Trump nominees, the ruling tells you that specific constitutional floors are not negotiable, regardless of who is president or what their policy agenda is. The unanimity is the signal. It says this specific requirement is clear enough that no legitimate jurist credential orientation can justify crossing it. That is the specific and significant constitutional lesson of the 9 to0 ruling, not that all nine justices are uniformly against Trump's presidency. That on the specific question of due process before deportation, the constitutional requirement is clear enough to produce unanimous agreement across the full ideological spectrum of the court. The second point is about what the wins alongside the losses, immunity for official acts, agency head firing authority, general emergency docket success reveal about the specific and targeted nature of the constitutional limits being drawn around Trump's second term agenda. The court is not uniformly hostile. It is making specific judgments based on specific principles. When Trump's claims fall within established constitutional protections, the court protects them. When Trump's claims exceed what the relevant statutes and constitutional provisions actually authorize, the court limits them. That principled application produces a mixed record, wins and losses distributed based on where specific claims fall relative to specific constitutional standards rather than based on a global political judgment about Trump's presidency. Understanding that mixed record means understanding that the constitutional limits being drawn are targeted and specific rather than comprehensive in total. The all nine turned against him, framing collapses that specificity into a false narrative of total unified rejection that the documented wins alongside the losses simply do not support. The third point is about what Trump's expectation of personal loyalty from his appointees and his attacks on Gorsuch and Barrett when they voted against his tariff program reveals about the constitutional misconception that underlies both his relationship to the court and the all nine turned against him narrative.

[00:17:18]Judicial independence means judges apply the law and the constitution rather than their political preferences or their loyalty to the president who appointed them. When Gorsuch and Barrett applied the major questions doctrine to strike down Trump's tariff program, they were doing their jobs. When the full court unanimously required due process and deportations, all nine justices were doing their jobs. The all nine turned against him framing treats the exercise of judicial independence as political betrayal rather than as the normal functioning of an independent institution. and Trump's attacks on his own appointees reflect the same confusion, treating principal judicial independence as disloyalty rather than as exactly what the constitutional design of an independent judiciary is supposed to produce. The court has not turned against Trump. It is applying constitutional principles and sometimes those principles produce outcomes that constrain his most aggressive actions that is not collapse. That is constitutional democracy functioning as designed. So where does all of this leave us right now? All nine justices agreed unanimously that Trump's administration must provide due process before deportation, a 9 to zero ruling on a specific constitutional floor. Six justices, including two Trump appointees, Gorsuch and Barrett, struck down his sweeping tariff program in February 2026. Seven justices in a cross ideological majority limited specific humanitarian protection actions. Trump publicly attacked his own appointees for the tariff ruling. The court has also expanded Trump's immunity for official acts, supported his broad agency head firing authority, and maintained a generally high emergency docket grant rate for administration policy requests.

[00:18:48]The mixed record of wins and losses across cases reflects a court applying constitutional principles to specific claims rather than a court that has made a unified political judgment against Trump's presidency. The collapse framing and all nine turned against him language dramatically overstates what the documented rulings actually show. No single ruling has ended Trump's presidency.
