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.

BS. But then if it was a Tax then it was unconstitutional because the bill originated in the Senate.
Dont defend Roberts here. He is compromised and everyone here knows it. Except maybe you.
Trump should demand that the NSA show him everything they have on this punter.
“What we have is an extraordinary group of dedicated judges doing their level best to do equal right to those appearing before them.”
What does “to do equal right to those appearing before them” even means?!
“I dont want to be accused of advocating trials and hangings.”
I understand your aversion. Gophers, sticking their heads from their holes, become primary targets; however, if 10 million gophers, heavily armed, pop up, then the shooters themselves need to find a hole to crawl into.
It’s both a numbers and accuracy in shooting game.
Xin loi.
BULL!
House bills have been wholly replaced by Senate amendments since shortly after our Founding.
I’ll defend the truth, you defend what you like as you will.
So all along many speculated that Roberts stabbed us and the Constitution in the back with 0bamacare because he was blackmailed or ‘they had files on him’, when all the time he was a liberal hack; card-carrying member of the swamp.
Kavanaugh is yet untested, but between Souter and Roberts I will have a wait and see attitude on Kav.
Need two SC replacements; replace Roberts then Ginsberg in that order.
Roberts KNOWS how the four liberals on the SC will rule as soon as he reads the briefs. To pretend they aren’t biased isn’t fooling anyone.
I think Roberts is signaling that he intends to uphold the Obama judge ruling. I think that whatever Obama had on Roberts to turn him, Trump needs to use to get him to resign. He is compromised and should not be on the S/C.
Mr. Trump is the most powerful man in the world, he has the love of the US military and the heart of the American people. I wish he would realize this and start using that power!!!!
Yep. Ombambis Bitch Boi
The mandate was somehow a tax
It's hard to make a coherent case against ObamaCare when we don't even get our facts straight.
1. Like it or not, ObamaCare is, indeed, a tax. What else would it be if it is administered through the IRS?
2. ObamaCare did not originate in the Senate. It was introduced in the House as H.R. 3590 -- the "Service Members Home Ownership Tax Act" -- on September 17, 2009.
There are plenty of legal avenues to overturn ObamaCare. Focusing on such idiocy as the legal definition of a "tax" and a false notion of which house of Congress introduced the bill will get us nowhere.
...says the judge that gave us ObamaCare...
“the four liberals on the SC “
There aren’t 4 libs on the court. There aren’t any liberals there since Kennedy retired.
Now there are four feudalists there who think they can rule that whatever they think is ‘right’.
Trump does not attack. He only responds. But then watch out. He's as good as there is in exposing his attackers.
They say that in negotiations, the first one to blink, loses.
Justice Roberts just blinked.
Judges do not have any authority to rule on items for which there is no legislated or constitutional law.
Judges do not adjudicate disagreements between the branches of US government. To do so would put them _above_ the other branches. They are an equal branch. Not the final arbiter of inter-branch disputes.
Judges who act outside of their lawful authority need jail time.
Unlike Kavanaugh, someone, or many ones, have things on Roberts that scares him..
This guy is what RINOmney would be had that loser been a judge.
Go Senator Grassley!!!!!!!!
Totally agree he is compromised.
My first question was “who sent the message to him to rebuke the President?” and my next thought was “Obama’s been unusually in President’s face this week.”
There’s a connection. Why is a former President jumping in after the midterm election to smear, demean and destabilize his successor’s administration? Unheard of.
