Political interference of an extraordinary kind.
“We do not have Obama judges or Trump judges, Bush judges or Clinton judges,” U.S. Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts lectured the president this week in a prepared statement. “What we have is an extraordinary group of dedicated judges doing their level best to do equal right to those appearing before them. That independent judiciary is something we should all be thankful for.”
The rebuke came in response to the president dismissing the ruling of an “Obama judge” on the Trump administration’s immigration policies.
“Sorry Chief Justice John Roberts, but you do indeed have ‘Obama judges,’ and they have a much different point of view than the people who are charged with the safety of our country,” Trump fired back. “It would be great if the 9th Circuit was indeed an ‘independent judiciary,’ but if it is why are so many opposing view (on Border and Safety) cases filed there, and why are a vast number of those cases overturned. Please study the numbers, they are shocking. We need protection and security—these rulings are making our country unsafe! Very dangerous and unwise!”
In lecturing the president as though he had transgressed norms, John Roberts violated one. The unusual aspect of the exchange involved a member of the court delving into politics. Presidents, long before Trump, criticized, attacked, and even questioned the court possessing the right to deem acts by the legislative and executive branches unconstitutional.

I've only read one instance (3 years ago) of maybe WHY John Roberts is such a cuck...he and his wife ILLEGALLY adopted 2 boys from IRELAND. Ireland has strict adoptions laws. NO children adopted outside of Ireland. The Roberts somehow circumvented that law via another country. Ergo illegal! That would shut him up real quick. Go see.
ReplyDeleteYes, I remember something along those lines.
DeleteA very revealing back-and-forth, and Trump is exactly correct.
