Trump went after the Supreme Court on Sunday for blocking a Missouri congressional map favoring Republicans, marking the third time the Court has overruled lower-court judges in the dispute.
Trump claimed the Supreme Court 'continuously, three times now' overrules judges 'who came to the correct decisions' and said the Court 'will just not let Missouri have an Election Victory.'

Why it matters: A sitting president publicly attacking the Supreme Court by name — and keeping a running count of rejections — turns a routine redistricting fight into a direct executive-vs-judiciary confrontation. For Missouri Republicans, three straight losses mean their preferred congressional lines remain blocked while the Court's independence from political pressure becomes a live political talking point.
