President Trump on Tuesday slammed the Supreme Court ruling that blocked his mail-in voting plan, singling out the conservative justices who ruled with the majority.
Trump referred to the ruling, which upheld a judge’s block finding the plan unlawful, as “a bad decision” in a lengthy Truth Social post .
The president praised conservative Justices Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas as “legends,” noting their dissent against the ruling. However, he lashed out at “certain” other justices who “are petrified of these crazed and depraved Democrats,” apparently referring to Justices Brett Kavanaugh, Neil Gorsuch and Amy Coney Barrett, who sided with the court’s liberal justices on the ruling.
“These are not the people I interviewed to serve on the United States Supreme Court, they are merely a shell of their original selves, a Court that is costing the United States Trillions of Dollars with shockingly bad rulings that are of such magnitude that it won’t be easily possible for our Country to recover or heal,” the president wrote.
Trump went on to predict the high court will go down as having “rendered some of the most destructive, hurtful, and damaging decisions in our Country’s history.”
While he voted with the majority, Kavanaugh suggested there’s at least a fair prospect that the plan is legal.
“But applying the rule in the 2026 elections would be arbitrary and capricious in violation of the Administrative Procedure Act because state and local election officials do not have sufficient time to reasonably implement the rule before the elections,” Kavanaugh wrote.
The decision marks the third time the Trump administration brought the plan to the high court’s emergency docket after groups blocked the effort.
The plan would have directed states to upload voter lists before sending out mail-in ballots. Additionally, the Postal Service would only deliver ballots that meet new design requirements.
“Republicans just got another bad decision from the United States Supreme Court, one that the Court System took forever to give, and then blamed it, in part, on no time left to implement a solution to our totally CORRUPT and out of control Mail-In voting ‘disaster,’ which is a laughing stock all over the World, and where we are the only country that has to endure such a Nation Destroying SCAM,” Trump wrote in his post.
