#SCOTUS may choose to focus on #Trump’s use of #socialmedia to carry out the unprecedented action.
Trump's “prolific” [inappropriate & incessant] use of social media is well-established. He long has used social media not only to voice opinions but also to announce major decisions & official govt policies.
