And so it continues, unabated, by the self proclaimed Emperor!

[C_Clayton_Jones]

Trump demanding that Ginsburg and Sotomayor recuse themselves is arrogant, partisan idiocy.

 

[toobfreak]

I agree with Trump. Justices need to remain unbiased. Trump haters need to recuse.

Then any justice appointed by Trump should recuse themselves. And any justice who has ever agreed or disagreed with Trump should also recuse themselves. This is not how the justice system works.

How so? The pinnacle of professionalism in any judge much less the SCOTUS is that they be UNPREJUDICED in any case they preside over. You may have your personal beliefs but come time to go to work, you put that aside and rule based on the facts and the law.

Really? So any liberal cause brought before the supreme court the conservative justices should recuse themselves?

Hey Stupid, what part of you cannot read? I said that people can have their personal opinions, but professionally as a judge, you must be able to keep them to yourself and put them aside in not allowing them to influence your judgement of the law and the facts.

By your idiot remark, since most everyone is either a conservative or liberal, there could be no judges in the world.

For those who doubt DJT is not a megalomaniac, and the GOP which has allowed him to become a self proclaimed emperor, please wake up, open you eyes, and read this:

"President Donald Trump lashed out at two liberal Supreme Court justices Tuesday, escalating his battle with the judicial system to new heights despite entreaties by his attorney general to refrain from Twitter blasts that complicate the administration’s legal fights.

"Weighing in on a domestic matter before embarking on a day of ceremony and meetings in India, Trump seized on an opinion by Justice Sonia Sotomayor and a years-old comment by Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg to demand that the two Democratic-appointed jurists recuse themselves from any cases involving him."

Trump Demands Two Liberal Justices Recuse Themselves From His Cases

This is a totally outrageous demand and one that I have never heard a U.S. president ever make before. This is overstepping by far.

Those who claim that Justices Sotomayor and Ginsberg have obvious and admitted biases seem to forget that we have had "conservative" justices who have expressed biased attitudes openly, and never received demands for recusal. Scalia used to trot around all over the place speaking to biased groups like the Federalist Society, and "conservative" groups constantly call for the appointment of justices who can be relied upon to always rubber-stamp "conservative" views.

There was one case on a controversial law in which, according to the transcript of oral argument, the justices identified as "conservative" asked only a few questions relating to procedural matters regarding the bringing of the action, but never asked one single question regarding to the substantive provisions of the law and how they applied in the real world. Their silence was certainly indicative of pre-judgment bias. Did they even read the briefs, of which there were many and from expert sources?

Now justices are getting demands for recusal from the criminal who sits on the Oval Office who demands to be a dictator? No way! This is totally un-American.

Totally outrageous demand. Except that if it were SCOTUS members calling for Trump's resignation, you'd be all for it calling it appropriate!

 

[BlindBoo]

SC Justices have the same free speech rights as Trumpybear and his Banana Republicans. Why do they oppose Free Speech?

Right, you stupid shit. Like you'd want to go into a hearing with a judge whom a few hours before publicly spoke out on your case saying you were a jackoff who should be locked away! And you wouldn't complain!

This aside from the fact that you ARE a jackoff who should be locked away.

Having their own opinions is ONE THING.

Letting them influence their judgement is WHOLLY ANOTHER.

Publicly speaking out with them unsolicited commenting of the efficacy of Trump's presidency for a SCOTUS, is beyond the pale. These two bitches need impeached from the high court.

The issue was raised in a written dissenting opinion.

 

[BlindBoo]

Name me one other Justice who has EVER spoken out against a president defaming them

What did Sotomayor write that defamed the Trumpybear.

In their personal lives, yes, they have free speech, in their court opinions, however, they are supposed to side on the law.

Wasn't Sotomayor criticizing the conservatives on the Court more than the President?

It would be the exact same if kavanaugh came out and said I'm 100% on the side of trump.

Not really, that's too much like Mitch. Now if Brett said "I think Trump is honest and I understand why people elected him" that would be closer to the mark.

Link to Trump proclaiming he is Emperor?

Self proclaimed, he is a megalomaniac. He rejects the Separation of Powers and actually believes he is above the law. It is people like you who feed his ego, and those Senators who have given him a pass, making trump and infusing future presidents with the belief that they too can do what they please without interference from the Courts and the Congress.

It is up to us to reign in the presidency, notwithstanding anything trump has done which some of you believe is in our countries best interests, his behavior and divisive rhetoric is both sufficient and necessary for him to be a one term president; he is beyond a doubt unfit to remain in office, having abused the power of the office & violated the trust which he seems to believe is his divine right.

Gosh. You probably shouldn't vote for him, then.

"Probably"? I wouldn't vote for trump in any capacity for an office of trust. Why anyone would given his performance is beyond belief.

Would you buy a used care from someone as corrupt as DJT?

Thanks again for a REALLY dumb thread starter. You're quite good at this!

You're more than welcome, I really enjoy personal attacks by trump supporters. They never fail to post comments which lack thought and yet they delude themselves in believing (never thinking) they're being clever.

Arrests the judges.

Arrests journalists.

Executes journalists.

Confiscates homes and property of private citizens and sends them to bernie sanders gulags....

Then get back to us...till then, you should really grow up...

The president has no authority to tell judges what to do. It's an authoritarian fantasy Trump has, or he literally doesn't understand how our Constitution works. He needs to back off.

It's a BIG LIE, one which the Chief Justice responded to when Trump called out "Obama Judges". Now we have seen more intrusion into the Judiciary:

Trump Demands Two Liberal Justices Recuse Themselves From His Cases

Is there any doubt trump is a person who is obsessed with their own power?

Trump didn't demand anything, you sissy bedwetter.

Idiot-gram ^^^, variety, Sophistry with an ad hominem.

For the readers with an open mind, consider the Bully Pulpit, or in the case of DJT, The Bullshit Pulpit.

I miss the good old days when Presidents didn't criticize the Supreme Court, don't you?

I have no problem with Obama or Trump criticizing decisions made by the Supreme Court, nobody has said otherwise. To demand they recuse themselves for not drinking the kool aid is another matter.

He didn't demand anything.

Words have meanings. You don't get to create new ones.

The mere hint that a justice should recuse themselves from anything involving Trump before the Supreme Court because someone said something not nice about him is uncalled for.

Agree, but it is unseemly and abuse of power.

In their personal lives, yes, they have free speech, in their court opinions, however, they are supposed to side on the law. Personal political bias should not be reflected in any of their decisions, on either side.

Again, I say the whole supreme court is a farce. Justices are appointed by whatever president is in office hoping they will side with either the right or the left. This should not happen.

The left is all up in arms because trump is appointing so many right wing judges, yet, if the left were in the same spot, they'd be appointing all left wing judges. It's just the nature of the game, and its bogus.

I'd prefer if people in the judicial system were not allowed to disclose their political affiliation, especially those who may be appointed to the SC.

Two comments:

1. The Supreme Court's Seven Justices are the only members of the Judiciary which does not have a Code of Ethics
2. A quote from The Court Years, 1939 - 1975: The Autobiography of William O. Douglas

Page 8:

It was shortly after that episode that Hughes (Chief Justice) made a statement to me which at the time was shattering but which over the years turned out to be true, "Justice Douglas, you must remember one thing. At the Constitutional level where we work, ninety percent of any decision is emotional. The rational part of us supplies the reasons for supporting our predilections".

It's the title of an article, the very conservative moony times also used the same language.

President demands that two liberal Supreme Court justices recuse themselves from 'Trump related' matters

Is this where you expect me to say, "Oh, well, if THEY said it, it must be true!!"?

How do you think that's going to work out for you?

I'm saying the word 'demands' is used in multiple articles and is a single word that you're going to hang your hat on rather than the fact that the president of the United States even insinuating that a justice should recuse themselves because they spoke up against him is troubling.

Face it Skippy: You're "troubled" only because Trump said it.

Meanwhile, the reality remains that he didn't demand anything.

LOL another concrete thinker (and another overstatement). Emotions cloud thinking.
