Supreme Court Allows Trump to Stick Tongue in Electrical Socket

Washington, D.C. - In an unsigned and brief opinion, the Supreme Court has lifted a federal judge's order pausing President Trump's plan to stick his tongue into an electrical socket located in the White House Executive Residence.

"They aren't ruling on the wisdom of any specific plans to insert his tongue into the socket," NPR legal affairs correspondent Nina Totenberg explained to me patiently over the phone. "But they make it clear that the district judge had inappropriately held Trump back from moving ahead with them. Does that make sense? Because I don't think I can dumb that down any more that than for you."

Apparently not every judge on the nation's highest court was on the same page. One in particular named Ketanji Brown Jackson even went so far as to disagree with the majority opinion. According to Totenberg, the term for this is a "dissenting opinion". "Yes, that is what it is called. That's what it has always been called. Supreme Court judges often don't agree with each other."
