CNN: Trump Dealt A Huge Blow on Issue He's Been Fixated on For Years

Erin Burnett is going through his years of being "obsessed" with the issue.

So now, faced with that "rebuke" according to CNN, he is telling Congress to end birthright citizenship. He wants to "work around" the SC decision. The guy is such an infant.

Basically, wahhh.....I didn't get my way! Mike Johnson, fix it for me!

I choose to laugh at him because really, it is absolutely nutso and I don't want to ever lose sight of that. In spite of the sanewashing, even CNN is presenting him tonight as loony-tunes. And that's progress.

early next year. While the sycophants in the Justice Department gave the merger the go ahead, some state's Attorney Generals are suing because they are concerned about lack of competition causing higher fees for consumers. The British Government also have several regulatory agencies, who have announced they would like to hold hearings fearing lack of media diversity especially where CNN is concerned.

It seems most experts think it's still likely to be given the go ahead, but will just be delayed. I am still hoping someone finds away to stop it. Keeping my fingers crossed it will get delayed to the point where it's too costly, and both sides will back out of the deal.

At this point, when you have such a compromised Court, they can describe the legal points in a case that will fast-track a case to the Court. And the Republicans can make it happen by creating a case for the lower courts to rule on.

I bet that John Grisham would pay for the tip. Anyone know Grisham's number?
