The conservative judges will rule against him from time to time because what he wants isn't always conservative; sometimes it's just stupidly unconstitutional. In the birthright citizenship case he's tried to rewrite the Constitution (a) because he's a racist, and (b) because he's an authoritarian who thinks his executive orders must always be obeyed. But even his conservative appointees aren't having it and he's furious at their lèse-majesté.
