Supreme Cop-out

Last night, the Supreme Court voted 5 to 4 to reject Donald Trump’s emergency petition to stop his sentencing hearing in Judge Juan Merchan’s kangaroo court.

Usually, when the justices vote on whether or not to accept a case or a petition, we aren’t told how the justices voted. But the four justices who wanted to hear the petition wanted it known who they were. They were the four solid conservatives: Thomas, Alito, Gorsuch, and Kavanaugh.
