In a remarkable exchange, Chief Justice John Roberts rebuked the President over his assessment that some judges appointed by Barack Obama exhibit a clear bias, while Trump fired back, citing the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals as an example.
The clash between Roberts and Trump began when the latter blasted U.S. District Court Judge Jon Tigar, an Obama appointee, for issuing a temporary restraining order against the Administration’s new asylum rules. The President sought to prohibit immigrants who enter the country illegally from applying for asylum, a move designed to stem the tide of mass caravans of illegals trying to overrun the southern border.
“This was an Obama judge,” Trump complained. “And I’ll tell you what, it’s not going to happen like this anymore.”
Roberts was inspired to respond in a statement:
“We do not have Obama judges or Trump judges, Bush judges or Clinton judges. What we have is an extraordinary group of dedicated judges doing their level best to do equal right to those appearing before them.” It was a rare public admonishment by the Chief Justice.
President Trump fires back.

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. It would be great if the 9th Circuit was indeed an “independent judiciary,” but if it is why......are so many opposing view (on Border and Safety) cases filed there, and why are a vast number of those cases overturned. Please study the numbers, they are shocking. We need protection and security - these rulings are making our country unsafe! Very dangerous and unwise!.
Justice Roberts can say what he wants, but the 9th Circuit is a complete & total disaster. It is out of control, has a horrible reputation, is overturned more than any Circuit in the Country, 79%, & is used to get an almost guaranteed result. Judges must not Legislate Security...and Safety at the Border, or anywhere else. They know nothing about it and are making our Country unsafe. Our great Law Enforcement professionals MUST BE ALLOWED TO DO THEIR JOB! If not there will be only bedlam, chaos, injury and death. We want the Constitution as written!
The article goes on to point out the Hypocrisy of Robert's attacks on President Trump vs his comments or lack there of when Obama was President.
So what does this all mean?
Does this mean that Roberts is still being blackmailed by the Deep State and he will now be siding with the Liberal Justices on a regular basis?
Or is this just another attempt to get the Democrats and the Media to "Luv some Roberts"?

Give a man a fish and he eats for a day. Give a man a welfare check, a forty ounce malt liquor, a crack pipe, an Obama phone, free health insurance. and some Air Jordan's and he votes Democrat for a lifetime.
