The Supreme Court is about to run out of money, and federal courts across the country are expected to run out by early next week because of the government shutdown.

The nation’s top court “expects to run out of funding on October 18,” Patricia McCabe, Supreme Court public information officer, told The Hill.

“As a result, the Supreme Court Building will be closed to the public until further notice. The Building will remain open for official business,” McCabe continued.

      As much as I would like to not be tied to red states, the fight for federal assets and military assets would bring a lot of bloodshed. Also, most states do have nukes.

        You’re half right - Russia is in Europe, but that does not mean all Europeans are Russian. But from Europe, the view is good. Could have been better if you didn’t elect trump, but still.

            So true.

            About your edit on my wording: does both not work in this context? My mother tongue is Norwegian, so I’d like to know how I can improve my English language.

            Could = possibly. Would = definitively.

            Yeah, I’m gonna agree with you. Should have used would.

              In general your wording is correct. And your English language is far better than I’ve seen from a lot of the native speakers here in England.

              The word could does mean possibly.
              The thing is with a person like tRUMP there should be no vagueness or ambiguity.

              Seriously, your English is great. I wouldn’t have guessed it was your second language.
