John Roberts’ Supreme Court is so afraid of President Donald Trump that it is actively avoiding standing up to him, an MS NOW host said Tuesday.
MS NOW’s “Morning Joe” co-host Joe Scarborough asked “where are the Republicans?” as he hammered the conservative majority Supreme Court for fearing Trump’s backlash instead of facing him head-on. Scarborough argued it was time for the high court to “reaffirm the law of the land,” as federal agents have detained American citizens and incited violence in Minnesota and Trump demands that Greenland be seized and potentially destroys NATO.
Scarborough pointed to the Supreme Court’s lack of action as the reason many of Trump’s actions have unfolded.
“Telling generals and admirals, ‘Hey, we can actually practice our military tactics on Americans in American cities,’ [Trump] said that at that meeting where they called together all the generals and admirals,” Scarborough said. “So again, so much of this is on the Supreme Court, sitting back, saying nothing, doing nothing, not ruling on tariffs, allowing Donald Trump when he gets upset with a foreign country because they won’t just hand him land, the threatening of tariffs and everybody stands up for that foreign country, an ally, a close ally.
“He then threatens other allies that are saying they will stand with the ally Donald Trump is threatening.”
Scarborough also said that Trump’s threat to send troops to American cities is something the Supreme Court could have pushed back on.
“It is so un-American. It is so unconstitutional and it is so right in front of the Roberts court and they sit back and they say nothing and they do nothing and so much of the chaos that you’ve been seeing over the past six months could have been so easily cleared up by the Roberts court if they had simply told the truth and acted quickly on tariffs, what they know to be the law on tariffs,” Scarborough said.
“If they had stepped forward and said what they knew the law was on using American troops for domestic policing. They know that’s illegal. They know that’s unconstitutional and yet, they continue to do nothing.”
He argued that it was up to the high court to protect Americans, however, the conservative court has shown no signs of resisting Trump.
“A temporary order at the end of the year — not enough, not enough — they need to not even close the door on these actions, they need to reaffirm the law of the land and they’re too scared to even do that,” Scarborough added.
