Robert Reich explains how an assault on the federal judiciary is an abuse of the president's constitutional authority:

One way dictators take over democracies is by threatening the independence of a nation’s courts. Donald Trump is doing just this.

Connect the following dots:

1. In January, Trump blasted a federal judge for staying his travel ban. “The opinion of this so-called judge, which essentially takes law-enforcement away from our country, is ridiculous and will be overturned!” he tweeted.

2. In February, after the judge made the stay permanent, Trump issued a veiled threat: “Just cannot believe a judge would put our country in such peril. If something happens blame him and court system. People pouring in. Bad!”

I connected the dots... and the picture that emerged was one of Obama appointed Lefty judges striking down reasonable executive orders not because they are in violation of the constitution but due to a biased opinion and the shear fact that the order came from Trumps desk.


Block it all to discredit him and darn the people of the USA.



I wonder if Madonna was ever investigated when at the pussyhat march she said before thousands of people that she was going to burn the White House down?

What is wrong with people?

Being a moron isn't grounds for impeachment.
AND
The judge made a ruling completely based in law. It's not biased automatically because it's against you.

Trump is an idiot. Reich is a hypocritical waste of space. Obama did this very same thing in his State of the Union address.

Really? He threatened to shut down a court because they ruled against him?

False equivalency fallacy
