SCOTUS: The president can be investigated by a criminal grand jury while in office. On that point the Court was unanimous.

This column, by nonlawyer Jen Rubin, is far better than most of the lawyer analysis I've seen on tv today. Really excellent work. https://t.co/WL3BXLaETW

The White House Press Secretary just said “the big takeaway” from recent Supreme Court decisions is “we need more conservative justices on the courts.”

I think the big takeaway is we need a more law-abiding President in the White House.

Today, the Supreme Court, including two of the President’s appointees, affirmed that President Trump is not above the law, recognized Congress’s constitutional authority to conduct oversight #ForThePeople & upheld the separation of powers that is the genius of our Constitution.

Kayleigh, there is a conservative majority on the Supreme Court.

Both of Trump’s appointees voted against him.

response so far:

WH Chief of Staff Mark Meadows says "most Americans don't care" about the President's tax returns. Still views the investigations of Trump's financial records as "a fishing expedition," and says it's "critically important we don't allow Federal agencies to be weaponized." pic.twitter.com/PUn8RdqOli

for a president who prizes loyalty, the votes of Kavanaugh and Gorsuch may have felt like a betrayal. Moreover, their judgment again undercuts a key messaging point of his campaign: that his Supreme Court picks will deliver victories for conservative Republicans.

there's a tweetstorm...

This time, Trump's Supreme Court rejection is personal https://t.co/4Xd81RV2dU
