“Progressives who “were popping champagne corks … with these lower court decisions, they got slapped down by all nine Justices, including Ruth Bader Ginsburg” ”
From William A. Jacobson on the Tony Katz Show:
“Nine Justices agreed on this. Nobody said the 4th and 9th Circuit injunctions should continue in full force and effect. Not a single Justice said that. The only question was how much of a slap down they were going to give to the 4th and 9th Circuits, and I think they gave a substantial one….”

“All the progressives out there, who were popping champagne corks and all that sort of stuff with these lower court decisions, they got slapped down by all nine Justices, including Ruth Bader Ginsburg, the leading liberal on the court, at least to a substantial part of the lower court orders. So that’s what the media’s not really reporting here.
Whenever something good happens for Republicans or Trump, I like to watch CNN and MSNBC to see how they react. And they were both playing this as, ‘oh well, the court only partially reinstated, blah, blah, blah’. So they were trying to downplay it. In fact, nine Justices agreed that what the lower courts did was improper, the only disagreement was how improper it was.”
