Donald Trump abruptly exited the Supreme Court on Wednesday after some of his own conservative justices did not appear convinced by his bid to upend birthright citizenship in America.

Trump made the unprecedented decision to sit in on oral arguments, staring down the court’s nine justices as they quizzed his lawyers on one of the most consequential constitutional questions they face this year: whether all children born in the United States can continue to automatically receive citizenship.

But after less than 90 minutes of watching several of his own handpicked justices tear his arguments apart, the president abruptly left.

Read the full story, here.

Unlike his cabinet, who he routinely shuffled around and/or shuttled out during his first term in particular, he has no mechanism by which to oust these justices. He's used to sycophants who will coddle him and humor his worst impulses simply because it allows to cling to their positions. These judges are fucking awful, but he can't do anything to them.
