President Trump took time off from his long holiday weekend on Wednesday to slam Chief Justice John Roberts, who earlier in the day had rebuked the president for his attacks on the federal judiciary.
“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. It would be great if the 9th Circuit was indeed an ‘independent judiciary,” the commander-in-chief tweeted from Mar-a-Lago after a round of golf with the legendary Jack Nicklaus.
“[B]ut if it is why are so many opposing view (on Border and Safety) cases filed there, and why are a vast number of those cases overturned. Please study the numbers, they are shocking. We need protection and security – these rulings are making our country unsafe! Very dangerous and unwise!”
Roberts had earlier criticized the president for his scathing criticism of the federal judiciary — praising the longstanding American tradition of judicial independence.
Roberts specifically pushed back against the president’s description of a judge who ruled against his new hardline migrant asylum policy as an “Obama judge.”
“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,” Roberts said in a statement. “That independent judiciary is something we should all be thankful for.”

Very goo response to the black robed tyrant.
None of the Elite live in the real world. They just lord over it.
He has put his life, fortune and his sacred honor in defense of this country. & I would proudly stand alongside him in battle.
EXCELLENT point!
Yes Sir!
Totally agree!
Judge Roberts is to the judiciary of America what Benedict Arnold was to the Continental Army. Meaning specifically that, at a minimum, he gives it a bad name. I cringe every time I hear Roberts name and I think that will be his legacy or worse...……..if he gets caught at whatever “they” have on him.
From first hand experience, yes it’s political but you can’t escape another adjective too if your being honest and that is “Corrupt”. Money will buy you whatever you want in our justice system except a jury verdict. I proved that (in a civil case).
I agreed with you on every point except ranking. To me, “Corporate Media” promoting globalist/leftist views 24/7/365 is far more dangerous to this country than the judiciary.
Money courses through the veins of the government. And yes, it is a corrosive force that leads to corruption. No question about it.
Funny with all the FISA abuse facts in the public domain, I don’t recall Judge Roberts saying a damn thing.
*************
Great point. Roberts is being selective in his criticism. Case closed.
He is engaging in partisan politics and therefore not fit to serve on the court.
