WASHINGTON — Chief Justice John Roberts is pushing back against President Donald Trump's description of a judge who ruled against Trump's new migrant asylum policy as an "Obama judge."

It's the first time that the leader of the federal judiciary has offered even a hint of criticism of Trump, who has previously blasted federal judges who ruled against him.

Roberts said Wednesday the U.S. doesn't have "Obama judges or Trump judges, Bush judges or Clinton judges." He commented in a statement released by the Supreme Court after a query by The Associated Press.

Hey Johnny, remember obammy care?
you did that ass hole.

[DoughtyOne]

Hey John, his comments were just a tax. Stuff it you mindless lout!

[yesthatjallen]

If there wasn't any bias in our courts we wouldn't need lower, upper, and the Supreme Court.

It's comments like this from Roberts that should give everyone pause.

Is Roberts so removed from the real world that he believes every judge is fair, impartial, and unbiased?

If judges aren't biased, why did Democrats fight to keep Kavanaugh off the SC?

Democrats certainly believed Kavanaugh was a Trump judge.

Roberts, the sooner you leave this earthly plane, and take your rightful spot within the depths of the fires of hell, the better.

[Leep]

Can anything be done with a mentally unstable SCJ?

adoption fraud....years ago they had him by the balls when his kids were young and could of been taken to Ireland if the nation did a diplomatic push there is a treaty that gives him no legal standing in the court system because of how cross nation illegal adoption is handled but now that his kids are over 18 that button cant be pushed but I am sure that there are other areas he is compromised in.

[Savage Beast]

Roberts was a bad mistake.

[virgil]

Maybe Trump should have just “warned” the judge. Like Obama always did.

[zipper]

I FINEd justice Robert’s characterization of judges being non-political TAXing to my more jaded instincts.

[falcon99]

John Roberts has been a stain on the Supreme Court since his appointment. Another great Bush decision.

[Harpotoo]

So says the Mofo who was blackmailed into giving US ObungholeCare!

[zipper]

Maybe Trump should have just “warned” the judge. Like Obama always did.

Rignt! Trump should have called a news conference with all the supremes seated up front, then called them out from the podium, Saddam Hussein style.

Oh wait, Obama did that and the press had no problem with it.

[rainee]

Shut your trap John, you black robed hack

[Flick Lives]

Justice is blind.

[1Old Pro]

Justice is blind.

Justice Roberts is blind to reality?

[zipper]

Buzzy Ginsberg isn't going to retire, she will have to be carried out in a coffin. Hope we won't have to wait too long.

They'll have to make a custom coffin, for a stiffened corpse in a seated position -- because her death will be kept secret for the first few months with makeup, until she looks like Norman Bates' mother.

Oh wait, she already looks like that.

>> GREAT! Then NO Democrat should object to ANY Trump judiciary nominee!

That is my favorite among so many excellent comments. Spot on.

[fieldmarshaldj]

There are two kinds of judges: Judges who follow the Constitution and Black-robed tyrants who protect the Derp State and proliferate the unconstitutional Communist-Fascist-Totalitarian agenda. Zero’s “judges” aren’t exclusively the latter.

[dp0622]

True!

[faucetman]

The only thing about Roberts that we don’t know is whether it was dead girls or live boys.
