President Trump has attacked the judiciary like few U.S. leaders before him, disparaging judges and their rulings as “dangerous,” “horrible” and “a complete and total disgrace.” Some of his supporters and fellow Republicans applaud and parrot him, but U.S. District Judge Carlton Reeves said he hears something sinister: echoes of a time when the Ku Klux Klan and the architects of the Jim Crow South attacked the courts for chipping away at segregation and racism.
In a speech to the University of Virginia School of Law on Thursday, Reeves publicly criticized Trump’s aggressive responses to his administration’s losses in court and the lack of diversity in his judicial appointments — an extremely rare rebuke from a sitting federal judge. Though Reeves, whose court is in Jackson, Miss., never mentioned Trump by name, he quoted the president more than a dozen times and compared him to a stridently racist Alabama governor.
“When the executive branch calls our courts and their work ‘stupid,’ ‘horrible,’ ‘ridiculous,’ ‘incompetent,’ ‘a laughingstock,’” Reeves said, drawing from Trump’s Twitter feed, “you can hear the slurs and threats of executives like George Wallace, echoing into the present.”

But the KKK is the democrats.
The same democrats who hate Trump.
Democrats should never mention the KKK.
As DJT goads the Left he is reducing their list of epithets to two, NAZIS! and KKK! and is causing both words to be gradually drained of emotional content. What new words will the Left find to replace them? I don’t think those words can be replaced. When they are drained of effectiveness then the next recourse may well be bombs.
Sounds to me like U.S. District Judge Carlton Reeves doesn’t like free speech. How Democratic of him!!
Judge doesn’t know the KKK were democrats?
Wow.
As democrats, the one thing the KKK hates more than black people is republicans.

Naww. He slept through high school history and like any good ‘rat he’s repeating his masters words.
Dear Carlton. You are a part of the judiciary. You don’t make laws, you don’t make policy, and you don’t have ANY right to actively direct US policy. None.
You are there only to 1) Determine if a citizen has broken one of the laws that the legislature passed and the President signed, and 2) If you are a federal or Supreme Court judge - evaluate whether a law is consistent with the US Constitution.
That’s it, and in these duties it is essential that you remain unbiased. Clearly, you haven’t.
The concept of separation of powers has been completely forgotten, along with the 10th amendment and other gifts our founders gave us.
Our system of governance was not designed to have the judiciary as the supreme branch with power to change laws and overrule the executive branch on matters of immigration and national security. One political hack judge in the 9th circuit should not be able to dictate the way border enforcement is handled or the census is taken.
Now that the Mueller probe charade has finished I hope President Trump will do his job and start ignoring improper rulings from rogue judges.
He appears to be Very Low IQ, subsequently anything he says should be ignored.
[[What new words will the Left find to replace them?]]
Poopie face, puke breath, zit head, dumbo ears, bubble butt, cootie factory, booger face, dandruff store,?
The Left: “Don’t question us, peasant.”
Do you mean, Democrats?
We know President Trump does. Here's hoping that he takes this opportunity to remind/inform people of the demonicRAT roots of The KKK.
