Chief Justice John Roberts rebutted President Donald Trump's recent criticism that the recent ruling against the administration's asylum policy on migrants was issued by an "Obama judge".
We do not have Obama judges or Trump judges, Bush judges or Clinton judges," Roberts, who originally responded to the Associated Press, said via a statement issued from the Supreme Court's press office. "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.
The president responded directly to the comments in a pair of tweets Wednesday afternoon. "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 said.

If we don’t have Obama judges or Clinton judges, etc., that what the heck is the 9th Circus Court - the most overturned court in the US? I’m not convinced Roberts is the strict constructionist he was sold as being - ObamaCare decision. Neither is the “Trump appointed” federal judge who ruled against President Trump’s recent immigration action. Since the judge apparently used flawed “precedence” instead of the law. We have a CORRUPT judicial system and it has been getting worse.
GTH, Roberts. You’re owned.
>> How about we send judges Montecristo No.2 cigars from Cuba to influence them.
I’m your judge, and I’ll happily accept a dozen Monte #2s... ;)
He is wholly owned by the Democrat Party. They have a clear title to him. He is theirs lock, stock, and barrel head.
No doubt.
Roberts trying to justify himself for being a lib-tool with ObamaCare....he knows what he did and now we have a couple new and good troops on SCOTUS who know it too...
Way to go U S Sen Grassley.
It is Roberts job to police federal judges. Why should one federal judge have the power to stop a gov’t policy? That is real dictatorship.
The Ninth Circuit gets overturned by 80% by the USSC. That Court is a joke!

If someone were looking for justification for a recusal, they would have no legal impediment. IIRC. recusal is an ethical consideration and not a matter of legislation that must be followed.
I have some choice constitutional amendments that might do just that.
Roberts is a traitor
She was not impeached by the House, because Paul Noballs Ryan agreed with everything she said about Trump.
Ruth Bader Ginsburg risks her legacy to insult Donald Trump.
“Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg has decided to take a stand against a major party’s presidential candidate in a way that she—and arguably no prior justice—has ever done before. Over the course of several interviews, the justice has spent the last few days hammering Donald Trump for his reckless campaign and outrageous policies, suggesting that a President Trump would pose a serious danger to the republic.”
It is standard for imbeciles to conceal their ignorance with gibberish, if they can, which you didn't.
To think that those such as you are determining the outcome of elections.
May God help us.
What we have is a lying Supreme Court justice who can’t call something what it is as it related to Obamacare.
It was 2010, which led to Justice Alito shaking his head and mouthing words understood to be “not true”, in response to Obama’s criticism.
The left tipped its hand with the Kavanaugh hearings. Kavanaugh endured an attack that makes the Bork, Thomas and Gorsuch hearings look like a bit of collegial ribbing.
The left is genuinely afraid of Kavanaugh.
I like that.
There is the problem. When we place judges for the most art they go right down the middle where as a Democrat appoints a judge and they all go left on their verdicts.
In such a case, poisoned bait works well.
Shut up, swampy. Both of those are Constitutional. We need to empty the entire government, including the judiciary, of enemies of the Constitution. Just as the Presidential oath of office itself says.
