    The US Supreme Court often goes against Trump. Not putting any hope in them stopping him, but at least they apply some breaks. Also consider, they owe Trump nothing. He put three of them in there, 1/3rd of the seats, but they defy Trump with impunity, holding their seats for life.

    If we could eliminate Alito and Thomas, even replacing them with un-bribed conservatives, it would be a whole new ballgame. Rulings would still suck, but not like this.

    tl:dr; SCOTUS is conservative, not partisan.

      Like you said you said with a 6 to 3 majority in the Supreme Courts, thats a majority, which gives Trump lots of power"

      “With its six conservative members in the majority and its three liberals dissenting, the court on Friday curbed the ability of judges to impede his policies nationwide, resetting the power balance between the federal judiciary and presidents.”
