In an unusual break with typical Supreme Court practice, Chief Justice John Roberts delivered a mild rebuke of President Trump for calling a federal judge in California an 'Obama judge.'

 

Thank you for your comment. Your comment will be published after being reviewed.

It's true. He's an Obama judge.

John Roberts should put on his big boy pants and just live above the fray of politics. Every president at one point criticizes the judicial branch. It's the only thing they can do. Judge needs to forget about criticism and do his job.

The unicorn speaks. Politician have been packing the courts since FDR. Trump sadly is right.

I’m amazed at how many Americans support Trump on this. How do you not see how dangerous this is? You do t want big government but you don’t realise what will happen if the judiciary isn’t independent.

I’m so happy to see someone stand up to this hideous misrepresentation of mankind. IdiotInChief at it again. america can we have a coup take this horrible human out of office?

There are good judges and bad judges. Roberts is one of the bad ones. He's as much a DNC bitch and Bernie Sanders.

Well said Chief Justice Roberts. You are stating the ideal. Please repeat often and loudly.

There are plenty of judges who knowingly vacate the law in order to pursue personal agendas. For Roberts to suggest otherwise is absurd.

The ninth only gets overturned 90% of the time . And always rules in favor of the liberal activist bringing their frivolous nonsense. I didn’t realize Justice Roberts was a loon.

Time to replace this delusional fool. Where has he been? . The courts are completely politically biased. RBG? Obama’s ridiculously unqualified appointments?

The Chief Justice just confirmed that the SCOTUS is not independent.

Roberts was a jackass on Obamacare and now he is a jackass on immigration. the 9th is the most overturned district and are to the left of Lenin.

lorakolodny If this comment section is representative of how average Americans view this issue, America is in great peril! We need to do a better job in the civic education of our citizens.

lorakolodny This so called “president” has done more damage to the credibility of this nation’s vital institutions than any enemy, foreign or domestic, has ever dreamed of doing!

He also said the court was not there to protect the American Citizen from government, it was he who made Obama care a tax. Ugh.

Roberts did his best to save Obamacare. He’s supposed to be conservative but doesn’t seem like it

House and Senate are you paying attention, lines have been crossed. Are you going to put your own interest first or those of the United States?

Stop critizing the President just because you are chief among the group who like to legislate from the bench and circumventing congress, which is totally wrong. Don't try to do the dems trick of accusing others of what you are actually doing!!

The US Constitution and laws are legal documents and not living documents because for that reason judges can only interpret them. Too many judges give their opinion of the Constitution and laws based on their political opinion and these judges should be impeached. Trump is right.

It’s not like when OBama was President? Did the judges go against Obama when the administration caged illegal immigrant children? And then the media used those photos of the caged children and said it was under the Trump administration?

Yea, hes got an EGO! Were still talkin SCJ-gut UR voting rites-ROBERTS & SCJ-gut individ CITIZEN rites/open floodgates4 Corp/DARK FORIEGN-read RUSSIAN$$$-ROBERTS &SCJ-welcome&seat sexual predator& alcoholic SCOTUS-ROBERTS? What a legacy-by himself hes undermined US democracy!

That's one of the major problems in our countries leaders today Stepping out of the box and using personal feeling to rule the day.

Robert’s an Obama Judge.

In a statement, Roberts said that America does not have 'Obama judges or Trump judges, Bush judges or Clinton judges.'

Thank you Sir

Roberts is delusional and needs to join the real world. If it makes no difference who a President appoints as a Federal judge, then why did we have the recent Democrat led circus in the Senate opposing Kavanaugh?

So, here comes the Julia Roberts jokes from realDonaldTrump. LOL MSNBC NBCNews maddow Lawrence allinwithchris

Well John, we do have Biased Judges. Call them what you want.

When did Jeff Flake become a supreme court justice?

tuckerhiggins Roberts positioning himself as the new Day-O’Connor-Kennedy swing vote.

His honor lives in fantasy land? Organizations w an agenda choose judges according to who nominated them and so far have not been disappointed. From the judge in Hawaii to judges in CA. The rulings are predictable by who they are.

I wondered who was the damn law in this country. All of these $ hungry Republicans/Conservatives are enjoying it all, they dont care about the majority of Americans, we dont matter, cause we're poor and Democrat. Shame on all lawmakers. But about time someone said something.

Donald Trump is corrupt. He letting the Saudi King away with murder so he can help him keep oil prices down.

They’re definitely NOT non-Political. They were appointed as an extension of POTUS so an Obama appointment is an extension of his views. Makes him an Obama judge.

Next to go or replaced by OurLiter

If Democrats didn't think judges were biased then Obama wouldn't have rushed to pack the federal courts either.

Good for justice Roberts 👍🏼

Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts calls out Trump for his attack on a judgeSupreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts took a swipe at President Donald Trump, saying there are no “Obama judges or Trump judges” after Trump attacked the judge who ruled against his attempt to restrict asylum-seekers at the border. On this Thanksgiving Eve, I'm thankful for the Mueller investigation and hopeful that an impeachment is around the corner in 2019. People know that isn't true. If it was, then it wouldn't matter who was elected President so far as making judge appointments. John Roberts has flipped from Bush Judge to Obama Judge!

US does have 'Obama judges': Trump responds to Chief Justice John Roberts' rebuke'We do not have Obama judges or Trump judges, Bush judges or Clinton judges,' Roberts said. 'What we have is an extraordinary group of dedicated judges.' I’ll shot we have to many activists on our courts! Yes you do! Plus you have RINO Judges like yourself! I’d like to believe that Roberts senses and cares about our looming judicial crisis and that maybe he will do something (I really don’t know what) about it. But that’s probably wishful thinking on my part.

Chief Justice John Roberts denounces Trump's criticism of a federal jurist as an 'Obama judge'In an exceedingly rare rebuke of a president by the Supreme Court, Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. on Wednesday chastised President Trump for attacking a California federal judge who ruled against his asylum policy as a partisan “Obama judge.” Could it be that his arrogance towards the Chief Justice stems from his confidence over having a sister as a federal judge? Is she giving him advices? I couldn’t be more pleased with DT’s irrelevant response to Roberts. Keep it up Dotard. Let’s turn Roberts into an adversary. You go Mr Roberts

Chief Justice John Roberts takes chargeCNN News, delivered. Select from our newsletters below and enter your email to subscribe. He's the new median justice (aka the swing vote). He definitely intends on using that leverage to his advantage. It was his court before, sure. But now he really has control of it. Roberts does it again, even approved Obama Care when he voted , he called Obama Care a tax if you don’t take insurance. This lead to middle class tax. Law is his first love - not politics of the Dems or Reps. He'll do what he thinks the law allows. I may not like his decisions, but I know he won't let ANY president, including the current one, pull his strings like the last 2 justices seated. JohnRoberts_CJ USSupremeCourt
