Noted liberal activist judge John Roberts (sarcasm) came to the defense of the judicial system today in response to President Trump's "Obama judge" comment.
Trump still thinks he is a king and that everyone is required to "bend the knee"....
One by one the people Trump thought would stand by him have abandoned him. We just saw Trump cost the Republican Party the house and give the democrats the biggest gain since water gate. If not for the massive gerrymandering it would have been much much worse...
Roberts is not going to bend to Trump's will ... he has no reason to and every reason not to.
and you say trump lies....what absolute rubbish. i suppose there is never any judge shopping in the 9th circus either. of course there is never any voter fraud either to these people. on the right there is the alt-right, on the left there is alt-universe
Roberts is defending judges that he himself overturns on a daily basis. Besides, if there really isn't a "Obama judge", how many Democrat voted for Obama judges vs. Trump judges?
Left unspoken in this is that when Trump blames "Obama judges" for rulings he doesn't agree with, what he seems to be saying is that he'd prefer the judges be biased his way. Really, judges should be left out of politics which is what I think the chief justice was getting at.
By the way, this isn't the first time Roberts has expressed disapproval of a sitting president.
President Donald Trump lashed out at Chief Justice John Roberts Wednesday after the Supreme Court leader rebuked the president for suggesting a U.S. judge was biased.
“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 over Twitter.
The only disgrace is how so many liberals can spend every minute of every day for two years being outraged over everything, even as most of their lives have improved.
Thank Obama, yadda yadda. Anything to preserve the outrage. Biggest lie since you can keep your doctor.
It really is an unbelievable thing that progressives have been allowed to drown this country in rhetoric and division.
The president and his lies is the one who has "allowed this country to drown in rhetoric and division" but don't let that fact stop you. Them big bad progressives.
Oh the biggest lie is "we will have better cheaper healthcare for all"
We know the typical Trump followers MO. If Trump is criticized in a negative way by anyone, guard, defend and protect the leader at all costs. It's old news. We shouldn't expect a different response or action to all of Trump's failed policies in 2 years.
They have no credibility because their hypocrisy overshadows all reality.

I have no beef with someone who calls it as he sees it regardless of party.
