President Donald Trump said three Supreme Court justices he appointed were 'merely a shell of their original selves' in a September Truth Social post, after the court blocked his administration's attempt to implement new mail-in ballot restrictions ahead of the 2026 US midterms.
Brett Kavanaugh, Neil Gorsuch and Amy Coney Barrett joined the decision against rules arising from Trump's March directive. Justices Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas were the only two who dissented.
