Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts calls out Trump for his attack on a judge

Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts took a swipe at President Donald Trump, saying there are no “Obama judges or Trump judges” after Trump attacked the judge who ruled against his attempt to restrict asylum-seekers at the border.

“We do not have Obama judges or Trump judges, Bush judges or Clinton judges,” Roberts said in a 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.”

Trump, who has a history of attacking judges, dismissively called Judge Jon Tigar an “Obama judge” on Tuesday and said the 9th Circuit “is something we have to take a look at because it is not fair.”

5. And how's that citizens United decision working out? The one where

Johnny said no one would abuse an ability to contribute unlimited funds to elections.

What a maroon.

3. Yeah, right

Shut up, John. Know your role and stay in your lane. You're where you are to advance the interests of the wealthy and the Republican party. This is nothing more than eyewash.

Prove me wrong.

[Squinch]

4. Yeah, you keep telling yourself that, Johnny boy. You keep

believing that your legacy will not be that you presided over the court with the most partisan republican judges in history.


Who does he think he's kidding? He's annoyed at trump? His court's asinine partisan republican decisions CREATED trump.

6. A tiny shift

to the left. My hope is Roberts, with his legacy in mind, would be the only hope to thwart catastrophic decisions like repealing Roe.
