Tani Cantil-Sakauye, Californias chief justice, is fast emerging as one of the Trump administrations most vocal critics in the judiciary.
Her main concern is the controversy surrounding President Trumps immigration policies. Earlier this month, she criticized federal immigration authorities for using courthouses as bait to arrest undocumented immigrants. Days later, she assailed the presidents disparaging comments about federal judges who ruled against his travel ban.
And on Monday, Cantil-Sakauye used her annual State of the Judiciary address to argue that the rule of law was being challenged amid the administrations immigration crackdown.
Without mentioning Trump by name, she told the states lawmakers that the rule of law means that we as a people are governed by laws and rules, and not by a monarch.
We are living in a time of civil rights unrest, eroding public trust in our institutions, economic anxiety, and unprecedented polarization, she said. Our values, our rules and our laws are being called into question, and all three branches of government and the free press are in the crosshairs.
Cantil-Sakauye, a Republican appointed in 2010 by Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, has typically used the state of the judiciary address to discuss budget issues before the legislature.

Cantil-Sakauye told legislators: I am not saying, Do not enforce the federal law. I am saying, Please dont do so at, or in, California state courthouses.
Further proof that liberals are insane.
The of law is being re-established.....FINALLY.
the criminal technique has a name....... obstruction of governance
off with his head
transport him to a compound on Wake island
Why is a judge expressing an opinion on anything that might come before their court? Then again it is California and libs think law only applies to conservatives and republicans.
Leftist renegade scum bag SOB.
What a pile of stupid remarks. We don’t have a monarch, and this idiot is the one violating the law. Nor is immigration their damn business.
Let’s face it they took over California with illegality plain and simple.
State rights to import people ended in 1808.
Immigration is now a federal matter.
Californication is so screwed up because it has many “judges” and political hacks like this....
who evidently know NOTHING about our Constitution, liberties,
or laws
and who obviously don’t give a rat’s a*s da*n for the security and safety of our country and families
Someone throw these damn illegals the heck out of my country and back to theirs.
More evidence that liberal judges tend to be dishonest, malicious, incompetent, and generally worthless.
Another wacked out liberal judge appointed by a wacked out liberal Governor.
Yes, and she’s the one challenging the rule of law. Another stinking leftist hypocrite.
“...Cantil-Sakauye used her annual State of the Judiciary address to argue that the rule of law was being challenged...”

The “rule of law” is being challenged...........BY YOU!!!!!!
The law says “illegal” aliens should NOT be allowed to stay here...PERIOD!!!!
Yup, good way to get yourself forcefully recused from immigration cases. Just like RBG needs to be forcefully recused from all U.S vs xxxx cases while Trump is in office.
Of course, the last place you want laws followed is in a courthouse! What a dunderhead!
Great point!
murderers “challenge” the rule of law...bank robbers “challenge” the rule of law...rapists “challenge” the rule of law....isn’t that what crime IS? Challenging the rule of law?
