    The Supreme Court has ruled that low level judges without a case before them can no longer stop the President from doing his job.  This is a big one but it begs the question.  Is it worth it for Dems to fight this president when you know these rulings are this easy for Trump to win?    Kansas Senator Jerry Moran is increasingly a problem for Trump as he's now joining other Republicans to try to slow this president down. Kansans need to be heard.    Stephen A. Smith from ESPN says he's no longer ruling out running for president.  Gary Lezak is back on channel 41 doing weather in the mornings.  Sort of.    The Royals are starting to heat up behind starting pitching and timely hitting.  The Florida Gators come back against Houston to win the national title and a salary cap in college athletics is getting close.  We have the details.
