Chief Justice Roberts Rebukes Trump

Trump defends his claim of 'Obama judges' after Chief Justice John Roberts rebukes president

Trump slams chief justice after Roberts chides the President - CNNPolitics

Chief Justice John Roberts issued a rare rebuke of the President's disparaging remarks about federal judges.

"We do not have Obama judges or Trump judges, Bush judges or Clinton judges," Roberts said in a statement responding to comments Trump made earlier in the week criticizing the US 9th Circuit Court of Appeals. "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, in a response later Wednesday, stood by his comments from the previous day that prompted Roberts' statement.
"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 was talking about federal judges having no independence and being minions of presidents. He was rebuked by Chief Justice Roberts.

Trump replied:

"Sorry Chief Justice John Roberts, but you do indeed have 'Obama judges,'

So, if you have Obama Judges, then you also have "Trump Judges".

How do you think Kavanaugh feels knowing he works for Trump not to mention Gorsuch. A Supreme Court Judge that works for Trump? OMG! Trump is declaring that two of the Judges are NOT independent. They work for him.

Nixon nominated three or four judges. Were they "Nixon Judges"?

Trump thinks he has Kavanaugh under his thumb. I'm guessing he feels the same about Gorsuch.

I guess we'll find out, won't we.
My thread was actually less about Roberts and more about Gorsuch and Kavanaugh.

How do you think they’ll feel when people start asking them if they work for the country or for Donald Trump?

Neither man will ever be able to give an interview for the rest of their time on the Supreme Court where somebody doesn’t ask if they worked for Donald Trump.

After trumps comments both will have an Asterix next to their career. Especially Kavanaugh. Sometimes silence is agreement.
.

Justice Thomas is actually leading the charge against the 700 or so circuit judges that can issue nationwide injunctions. Justice Thomas said that he will try to limit the circuit judges power to avoid their overreaching. The simple fact that the 9th Circuit gets overturned 61% of the time is enough justification.
 
Trump did something unconstitutional. If he was a black guy, the pseuedocons would have added that to their growing List O'Reasons To Impeach they used to copy and paste on this forum a few years ago.

A federal judge placed an injunction on Trump's action.

So, as predictable as the sun rising in the east (thanks to Emperor Trump!), our President whined about the judge being an "Obama judge".


The Chief Justice of the Supreme Court normally keeps himself above the fray, but I guess yet another criticism of a judge by Perpetual Defendant Donald got to him. So he told Trump to knock it off.

Which means, of course. that John Roberts is a fucking homo muslim democrat America hater.

In rare rebuke, Chief Justice Roberts slams Trump for comment about 'Obama judge'

Good to see some judicial independence. Would have been better to have 9 signatures on it though.
 
Who died and left Roberts as the boss?

Roberts decided to grow a spine and speak truth to Trump's unbridled, banana republic power.
Too bad the GOP congress and the other right wing justices just keep wagging the vestigial tails they've grown since Trump took office.

Trumpers do not want a democracy or a republic they want an autocracy. The more like the Republic of North Korea the better to the Trumper. Trumpers want no dissent. They hate the voting franchise. They want total adherence to a supreme leader. That is who they ate and why Trump and Trumpers are such a danger to our democratic institutions and the Constitution. It is no accident that they don't have a bad word for Putin or why Trump admires Kim.


You are confused Moon Bat.

The courts should be trustworthy arbiters but thanks to the Liberal asshole activist judges, mostly appointed by that Obama piece of shit, they have destroyed the integrity of the Judiciary. Just look at how many times that Libtard 9th Circus is overturned if you have any doubts.
You're confused, Flash in the pan. The issue is not the 9Th Circuit it is Trump's assault on the independence of the judiciary. You may want a compliant judiciary that follows only what you believe, but fortunately we still live in nation where the rule of law still controls. As I said, you Trumpers do not want a free society, you want a uniform, meek and submissive one.

So Roberts is trying to walk it back by claiming he's not an Obama stooge?

Too bad he didn't do that when he betrayed this country and the US Constitution by voting in favor of Obamacare.
Well, supreme Court justices are generally not plagued by the cultist disease you suffer.

But the legislative branch, at the will of the people, is supposed to make the law. Not judges’ (mis)interpretations of existing law.

Well, that certainly is easy and convenient to say, when it suits your narrative du jour, but there is a reason we have an appeals process and different levels of courrts. Otherwise, we could just use a computer algorithm to dispense justice.
 
He didn’t do anything unconstitutional. The judge blatantly ignored the ruling the Supreme Court just made in regards to the travel ban. An appeal will likewise uphold the president’s authority in this matter

Let's fucking hope so.
 
Ask Spartacus whose judge is Kavanaugh. Roberts is spinning.

Roberts is the Chief Justice. Kavanaugh doesn't have any say about jack shit. He's a junior member of the court with one vote on any issue, and nothing else. And when the impeachment trial starts it will be Roberts sitting on it, and junior will get to watch it on television like everyone else.

No one is getting impeached

You have that completely backwards.
 
I give no fucks to what the says oligarch who performed some of the most convoluted mental contortions in human history, in order to declare Ocommiecare constitutional....Might as well quote what Judge Jewdy has to say about the subject.
Like I said. Roberts is obviously a fucking homo muslim democrat America hater.
Roberts is an establishment oligarch, who believes those in his line of "work" are demi-gods on Earth....Fuckem.

Roberts has a life tenure, and there is noting dotard can do about it.
 
LMAO the SCOTUS routinely overturns the liberal 9th circuit court of appeals decisions proving Trump correct. The judiciary may not like hearing they are corrupt and biased, too bad we elected Trump to set them straight.
You know...if you bothered to check, the 6th circuit court gets overturned way more than the 9th.....guess where it is.

OMG, take a nerve pill. Trump and Roberts are having a debate on the courts. Justice Thomas will likely have the USSC limit the circuit judges' (about 700 or so) to issue nationwide injunctions. The 9th gets overturned about 61% of the time, so their rulings are generally garbage.

On one of the news shows today, they had on a judge who had worked on Clinton's impeachment. He said that impeachment would be a mistake, unless they had hard, irrefutable evidence that Trump should be removed from office, and he didn't think that there was that level of evidence (yet).

He said that a smarter route would be to issue a subpoena to Trump after he leaves office and prosecute him through the courts that way.

Nikki would just pardon Trump

Actually 'we' didn't elect trump. The electors did. Obama is the only president in this century who was elected by we the people. Furthermore, Obama's the only president in this century who didn't dodge the draft either.

Obama was elected by the Electors, we the people don't elect Presidents. Also, Bush was elected by the majority in 2004 with 50.7% of the vote. Also, there was no draft when Obama turned 18, so he couldn't dodge a draft that didn't exist, your spin is pathetic and self serving.

Obama couldn't dodge a draft that wasn't there, so no, he's not a draft dodger. There was a draft for bush and trump though, and they chickened out. But man, the two chickens sure love the title of commander in chief, being a war president, etc. Bush was nominated by the supreme court.

I said that about Obama, you are being disingenuous at best.

The 2004 election was won by George Bush. So, you are wrong.

Well, supreme Court justices are generally not plagued by the cultist disease you suffer.

Don't fool yourself. Maybe not so evident in SC Justices, but the Ninth Circuit Court, and other Obama-appointed judiciary personnel? Their entire purpose is to stop Trump and toprotect what little of Obama's legacy still remains.
 
What Leftist are doing is sheer, unbridled madness in pure form. There is no reasonable or valid justification for open borders.

A nation without controlled, lawful immigration is no longer a nation. It is a lawless bus stop on the road to anarchy.

Without a doubt we are seeing the end of a once great nation and the beginning of something much less, and much less secure for all.

WHY are Leftist denying this? Are white people so repulsive that it is better to live in chaos and fear than to have them around?
Are White Leftists so blind as to think that a transformed America will continue to provide them with the wonderful life they've enjoyed by allowing a never ending flood of unvetted illegal immigrants?

So they will crush the grip whites have had on America for over two hundred years......it will be replaced by a nation of rapidly diminishing resources and increasing crime and poverty.

Is that what Leftists call "Progress" ?

It's like white leftists are begging to give up the nice lives they have in exchange for gang violence, anarchy and lawlessness and ever increasing chances of being a victim of someone without respect for American laws.

It's madness. In it's purest form.
