Trump dumps the Federalist Society -- and even Republicans are shooketh - Velshi - MSNBC

In a major about-face, Donald Trump is turning on the conservative powerhouse that built his judicial legacy, the Federalist Society. Yale Law professor Akhil Reed Amar warns that this break with the very group that helped propel him to power marks a dangerous shift. “He just wants loyalty to himself—thugs and hacks,” Amar says, adding that Federalist Society judges are principled and loyal to the Constitution, not to Trump. “The Senate needs to play a really important role now—especially now that he’s showing his cards.”

Trump’s latest nominee, his own defense lawyer Emil Bove, has drawn sharp criticism, including from conservative circles. “It’s one thing to put people in your branch, in your cabinet—but we’re talking about life-appointed judges and justices,” Amar warns. - Aired on 06/07/2025.

1. Trump nominated a 22 know nothing. Just out of college to a senior security role

Just because he flatters trump..he will nominate any jazz kisser to any position

3. Agreed. His feud with Musk began with TFG's refusal to appoint Musk's choice to a prominent position

Because he had previously donated to Democrats.

trump is fickle; purely transactional.
he has no friends or allies,
only those who are useful at the moment

4. Did someone inform the SC 6, they are supposed to

stand for the Constitution and not for Trump?

I mean while they ruled against him a couple of times, the last couple of decisions show they are back to kissing his rear end again. Especially the one letting Doge , now run by the project 25 guy, have all our private info from Social Security.
