Chief Justice Roberts’ troubling comment is worse than you think.We wonder if there was a reason he omitted ‘drunk judges?’
After Judge Jon Tigar took the unprecedented step of placing an injunction on our border admission policies and violated all legal norms and rules of standing, Trump said, “This was an Obama judge, and I’ll tell you what, it’s not going to happen like this anymore.”
When presented with the question by AP, rather than following tradition and simply saying “no comment,” Roberts responded, “We do not have Obama judges or Trump judges, Bush judges or Clinton judges. What we have is an extraordinary group of dedicated judges doing their level best to do equal right to those appearing before them.” He concluded, “The independent judiciary is something we should all be thankful for.”
