00:00Trump is furious with the Supreme Court, which is awkward because he appointed a third of it.
00:05Here's what's happening.
00:06On Monday night, the court refused to let Trump's new mail-in ballot rules take effect ahead of the midterms.
00:11Three courts have now blocked it, a judge in Boston, a second late Sunday, and now the Supreme Court.
00:16Only two justices sided with Trump, Alito and Thomas.
00:20Alito said the government had the better argument and blamed the courts, including his own, for deciding this so close
00:26to an election.
00:27Brett Kavanaugh, a Trump appointee, sided against him, but read what he actually wrote.
00:32There is at least a fair prospect that the final rule falls within the Postal Service's statutory authority,
00:38but applying the rule in the 2026 elections would be arbitrary and capricious.
00:43In plain English, he's saying he's for it, but it's too close to the midterms.
00:47So Trump went to Truth Social.
00:49He called it a horrible, highly political ruling and a big loss for Republicans and America itself.
00:54He said certain justices are petrified of these crazed and depraved Democrats and called the two who agreed with him
01:00legends both.
01:02About the justices who disagreed, he wrote they're not the people I interviewed to serve and called the court a
01:07shell of their original selves.
01:09The court didn't say the rule is illegal, just that it can't happen this year.
01:13It could be back after the election.
01:15The states that sued called it stopping election chaos weeks before voting.
01:19And voting has already started in places like North Carolina and parts of Wisconsin.
01:24But what do you think?
01:25Should the Postal Service have any rule in how ballots get handled?
