Chief Justice Roberts Criticizes Trump: For his “Obama judge” Ruling Comment

USSC Chief Justice John Roberts takes Trump to task 
for anti-judge comments

Historical moment in Supreme Court history for sure: Chief Justice John Roberts takes Trump to task over his “Obama’s judge” label on Federal judge that ruled against him as noted here from The AP:

WASHINGTON — Chief Justice John Roberts is pushing back against President Trump's description of a Federal judge who ruled against Trump's new migrant asylum policy as an “Obama judge.”

It's the first time that the leader of the federal judiciary has offered even a hint of criticism of Trump, who has previously blasted federal judges who ruled against him.

Roberts said on Wednesday (Thanksgiving eve) that the U.S. doesn't have “Obama judges, or Trump judges, or Bush judges, or Clinton judges.” 

Roberts said that an “independent judiciary is something we should all be thankful for.”

Also, last year, Trump also used the term “the so-called judge” after the first Federal ruled against Trump’s travel ban.

Thanks for stopping by.
