"You know, it's been a rough few years these last two weeks, but today we actually got some good news," Stephen Colbert said on Thursday's Late Show. In a 5-4 decision written by "liberal pinko chief of the patchouli circle Justice John Roberts," the Supreme Court blocked President Trump's attempt to end the DACA program and deport 800,000 DREAMers, handing back "the president's homework with a note that said, 'Show your work.'"

"Trump was not pleased with this decision, or the one on Monday that said employers cannot fire people just because they're LGBTQ," calling them "shotgun blasts into the face of people who are proud to call themselves Republican or Conservative," adding judges will kill the Second Amendment, Colbert said. "So essentially, your argument is that this is as bad as getting shot in the face, and aren't guns great?"
