Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett sent a jolt through the marble halls of the Supreme Court on Friday, delivering a crisp and cutting rebuke to Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson’s dissent in the landmark birthright citizenship case — a ruling which was ultimately a big win for the Trump Administration. Barrett, writing for the conservative majority, brushed aside Jackson’s sweeping objections as more performance than principle, off-key with both precedent and constitutional rhythm. In doing so, the Court took a decisive step toward restoring judicial restraint, trimming back the unruly sprawl of nationwide injunctions that had become the lower courts’

Thursday morning’s presser on the U.S. strikes on Iran’s Fordow nuclear facility turned heated when Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth unloaded on the press for reporting that the strikes weren’t as effective as the Trump Administration claims. Hegseth unloaded on journalists in the room for nearly three minutes and accused them of trying to undermine the president’s efforts to keep America — and the world — safe. “You, the press, specifically you, the press corps, because you cheer against Trump so hard,” he said. “It’s like in your DNA and in your blood to cheer against Trump because you want him
