5. Trump gets bad news from one of his own appointed Supreme Court justices

Not long after losing his bid to deploy the U.S. military in Illinois at the U.S. Circuit Court level, President Donald Trump asked for help from the Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS). But he's already running into difficulty in the form of one of his own appointed justices.

Politico legal correspondent Josh Gerstein reported Friday that while the Court has agreed to hear Trump's case and has given the State of Illinois a deadline of 5 PM on Monday to respond to Trump, there's a catch: According to Gerstein, Justice Amy Coney Barrett declined Trump's request of an administrative stay of a lower court order preventing him from deploying troops in Illinois borders.

Trump not getting his immediate administrative stay also notably comes on the day of the October 18 "No Kings" protest. Saturday's gatherings are expected to be even larger than June's demonstrations that brought out an estimated five million people on the same day as Trump's military parade.
