WASHINGTON (AP) — A federal judge accused the Justice Department on Wednesday of attacking her character in an effort to undermine the integrity of the judicial system, forcefully pushing back against the Trump administration's criticism of the courts for rulings that blocked parts of the president's agenda.
U.S. District Judge Beryl Howell’s comments came in an order denying the Justice Department’s bid to remove her from a case over an executive order punishing a prominent law firm. The Trump administration had asked for the case to be moved to another judge in Washington’s federal court, accusing Howell of demonstrating “a pattern of hostility” toward the Republican president.
"When the U.S. Department of Justice engages in this rhetorical strategy of ad hominem attack, the stakes become much larger than only the reputation of the targeted federal judge," wrote Howell, who was appointed to the federal bench by Democratic President Barack Obama.
“This strategy is designed to impugn the integrity of the federal judicial system and blame any loss on the decision-maker rather than fallacies in the substantive legal arguments presented.”

They did no such thing. They were just pointing out that you’re an idiot.
Charlie Brown ran off crying that Lucy impugned him. —— She’s an Obama creature
IMO the judicial system has no integrity left to impugn.
Lawfare, making the appeals process impossible for Trump unless he sold every asset he had, local biased judges spewing their hate by making a ruling everyone in the country has to follow. Forcing a political candidate to sit in a court room day after day, unable to travel to campaign. Slandering the name and reputation of Trump and his supporters day after day.
Aw, shut up lady!

There’s a whole lot of politicking and impugning going on with these ego swollen DC judgeocrats. Since DC is not one of the 50 states, these clowns are the last ones who should be lording over them. Washingtoon DC is a Federal District.
“a system where judges hold primary power over a government or society, the term “kritarchy””
Time to shut down the DC district courts. Just nuke ‘em; there’s nothing worth salvaging.
If the DoJ implied that Judge Beryl Howell had any character at all then they were definitely out of line.
Dear Judge Howell,
In the interest of brevity ... Kindly GFY.
Sincerely,
The American Taxpayer
Sorry Beryl. No Nazis have integrity. Not to worry!
Either the US Constitution vests executive authority in the President, or it doesn’t. It’s really that simple. Of courses this POS so-called journalist fails to report the substantive issue at hand.
If shining the light on judicial activist judges who rule unconstitutionally as black-robed TYRANTS is unjustly impugning them - SO BE IT.
Fight!!!
The current DC Fed Court has NO cred.
Buncha fascists they are.
Crimea, a river?
At the beginning of her career, she clerked for DNC "judge" Dickinson Debevoise when he was constructing the Democrat Party vote fraud apparatus in the Democrat big cities.
She was in on the ground floor of Democrat election-rigging.
I'll bet they laughed about how they were destroying the American system.
Honey, you did that yourself.
After law school, Howell was a law clerk for Judge Dickinson R. Debevoise of the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey from 1983 to 1984.
Dickinson Debevoise was the judge in the 1981 civil lawsuit filed by the Democratic National Committee against the Republican National Committee alleging violations of the Civil Rights Act in the New Jersey gubernatorial election. He continued to supervise and extend the decree until his death in 2015.
