On Saturday morning, President Donald Trump may have unleashed his most bone-chilling tweet -- at least to those who believe the United States should not become a Trump-led dictatorship. And I don't make that comment simply to be provocative or without giving it a great deal of thought. Our democracy is far more fragile than some might grasp and Trump is engaging in a concerned effort to undermine the workings of it.
Here is Trump's truly jaw-dropping tweet from Saturday morning: "The opinion of this so-called judge, which essentially takes law-enforcement away from our country, is ridiculous and will be overturned!"
Why is this so concerning? It's OK to argue about whether the judge should or shouldn't have issued this order. But Trump is apparently attempting to delegitimize our federal judiciary by calling Judge James Robart, a George W. Bush-appointed judge, a "so-called" judge while arguing that his decision is "ridiculous."
Let's be blunt, because the stakes demand it: An independent federal judiciary is our last, best hope at preventing Trump from violating the US Constitution and illegally grabbing power. And Trump has to understand that, hence his attempt to undermine it.

That’s what I’m thinking, Robart has impeachability. Why he offered his neck up on the block, only a Bush would know.
both the law and the US Constitution are solidly on DJT’s side on this one.
Both.
GO TRUMP!
Smack down the media! Smack down the leftists judges! We love it!
they do not like being governed the way they governed.
Stupid little Pali Muslim cretin; that's who this POS is.
Whoever the mysterious global mortal enemy of the United States is, it is painfully obvious they own CNN.
The author is a Palestinian, by the way.
The MSM is tirelessly trying to panic the public into believing that they MUST revolt against the administration or be killed etc.
No, his were in Austrian!
Trump is apparently attempting to delegitimize our federal judiciary...
...and the MSM is attempting to delegitimize the Presidency.
If one looks at the landscape of America today, on thing becomes quite apparent. We have long ceased to be a self-governing representative Republic.
A judicial oligarchy has taken control.
Abortion on demand, gay marriage, legalized racism in the form of affirmative action and forced busing, open borders - the results of edicts by black robed tyrants.
Hitler had a bunker mentality and therefore never tweeted.

Dean Obeidallah is a standup comedian, his ‘palestinian’ name means SLAVE OF ALLAH.
His decision IS ridiculous.
The Democrats and their small group of supporters are Totally Insane
I completely ignore CNN now. I used to watch them quite a bit but no more. They are so anti-Trump that they are just an extension of the DNC.
“With all due deference to separation of powers, last week the Supreme Court reversed a century of law that, I believe, will open the floodgates for special interests, including foreign corporations, to spend without limit in our elections,”
“I don’t think American elections should be bankrolled by America’s most powerful interests or, worse, by foreign entities. They should be decided by the American people. And I urge Democrats and Republicans to pass a bill that helps correct some of these problems.”
I still recall them saying that Obama was just too brilliant for average people to understand his actions.
Commie News Network is jabbering the party line again.
So far, two judges have ruled on this, one on the East Coast, another on the West Coast.
Care to guess which one issued a 21 page ruling, and a data dense, citation laden one at that?
