Even Trump's most powerful enablers just stopped him — he's in real trouble now

Some good news to end the year on. The Supreme Court today blocked Trump from sending the National Guard into the Chicago area — finally setting a limit to Trump’s executive power.

The decision was 6 to 3, with Roberts, Kavanaugh, and Barrett joining the three liberal justices in a majority. Alito, Gorsuch, and Thomas dissented.

The court said that Trump had “failed to identify a source of authority that would allow the military to execute the laws in Illinois,” and, presumably, other states.
