In a 5-4 ruling, the Supreme Court upheld Trump's travel ban on immigration from Muslim-majority countries. This ruling was a stinging defeat for opponents who contended it was motivated by religious discrimination.
I feel especially disappointed every day with the news because it appears Trump aka the “illegitimate one” that occupies the White House continues to weaken our democracy. This decision will embolden him, even more, to discriminate against everyone his administration deems undesirable, as we have seen in recent weeks.
You know how everyone said that our institutions would be a check on this president. Well, no our institutions are failing us. Congress and now the Supreme Court have failed us. There is no check on the “illegitimate one” that occupies the White House. The Supreme Court seat was stolen by Majority Leader McConnell who deprived President Obama of filling the open Supreme Court seat with Merrick Garland; instead, we got super conservative judge Neil Gorsuch.
This should be a reminder that every vote counts. #VoteBlueInNovember
