Blanche defends Trump’s tirade against supreme court after it blocked mail-in voting executive order – US politics live
The U.S. Supreme Court blocked a Trump executive order on mail-in voting, prompting the president to publicly criticize the justices. Attorney General Blanche responded by saying Trump should communicate his concerns through proper channels rather than public attacks.
Why this matters: When a president attacks the court that just ruled against him, the pressure is not just political noise. It is aimed at an institution whose independence is the main check on executive power. If that pressure works — if courts start weighing how a ruling will be received by the White House — everyone loses something. The voting rights piece matters too. Mail-in voting directly affects who can participate in elections, and executive orders that restrict it deserve hard judicial scrutiny.
