Judge John Bates of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia made the remarks Thursday at a townhall-style event on judicial independence in Philadelphia at the National Constitution Center. Though he did not name Trump specifically, his comments left little mystery as to whom he was referring.
There are a lot of pressures, Bates said. The pressures are fairly severe in some quarters. And theres a risk of eating away at the rule of law, eating away at judicial independence, and thats not easily recovered if it is impacted.
Once the independence of judges is destroyed, the Constitution is gone. It is a dead letter. It is a vapor which the breath of faction in a moment may dissipate,' Bates added, quoting Alexander Hamilton. (RELATED: The Supreme Courts Assault On The Administrative State Has Begun)

Trump is not endangering the rule of law, it is judges like this idiot who rule based on their political leanings rather than the Constitution. These activist judges have abused “judicial independence” by their actions and their position that nobody can question then because they are judges. The fact that Trump is questioning them, as are millions of Americans, upsets their little world because they are being called out. Their “judicial independence” cries are nothing more than a red flag to try to shut up warranted criticism.
I am so glad I read the comments before commenting.
You said what I was gonna say, only better.
It wasn't even an executive order.
This black-robed clown is a lying, lawless POS.
My explanation of the memo:

He's a lying, feckless POS.
President Trump doesnt threaten the rule of law, tyrant morons like this idiot do.
The executive; chief executive executes the law. Trump is executing the law better than any President in recent memory. The others empowered DC to be lord of us all. DC is not _the_ law. DC must operate according to the law; nothing more; nothing less.
Where was he when Obama chastised members of the Supreme Courtvto their faces at a SOU address?
But activist judges not only threatening but crippling rule of law is super cool.
I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: DACA is CACA!
Inquiring minds would like to know...
Just damn.... Thanks for clarifying this.
And so that lying little pukes like the dishonorable Johnny Bates could spew their BS in public.
