Trump slams the Supreme Court for rejecting his push to restrict mail ballots
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump on Tuesday went after the Supreme Court after it rejected his push to restrict mail-in voting in this year’s midterms, saying justices who opposed him were “not the people I interviewed.”
President Donald Trump harshly criticized the Supreme Court on Tuesday after it ruled against his efforts to restrict mail-in voting for the upcoming midterms. Trump accused justices he had nominated, such as Neil Gorsuch, Amy Coney Barrett and Brett Kavanaugh, of being "not the people I interviewed to serve on the United States Supreme Court" and claimed they were "merely a shell of their original selves."
The president expressed his fury with the court for its decisions against restricting birthright citizenship and issuing tariffs unilaterally. The Trump administration had pushed for the U.S. Postal Service to play a central role in deciding who could receive a ballot, but state election officials argued there wasn't enough time to make those changes before the Nov.
3 election. The Supreme Court ruled late Monday that the restrictions would likely lose in court. Trump accused the court of "bullying and cajoling" the Radical Left into making decisions that would set America back "at least a hundred years."
