One would think that the members of the high court would figure out a way to keep anybody, including the president, from blatantly discriminatory behavior. If the law does not protect people from bigoted acts, it seems to me it's the high court's responsibility to make adjustments in the law. Seems to me that blithely saying "Well that's the law for ya", isn't what the Supreme Court is supposed to be about.

See below...reckon this was squarely within der Fuhrer's legal authority according to the nazi high court.

Neither a Trump nor a current SCOTUS fan, but interpreting law is exactly what the Supreme court is for. Changing the laws is what the legislative branch is for.
