Trump is right about biased judges

Of COURSE he is, otherwise why would even the left go berserk over Trump SC nominations and other federal nominations? Roberts was simply wrong. The right will complain about decisions and who the judge was nominated by, and the left does the very same thing.

Trump is right about biased judges; Schumer acknowledges 'highly political' rulings

Like a basketball player who mistakenly shoots into his own basket and scores points for the opposing team, Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer of New York has inadvertently backed President Trump’s accurate contention that there are liberal judges appointed by Democrats and conservative judges appointed by Republicans who rule differently on cases.

After President Trump criticized U.S. District Judge Jon S. Tigar of San Francisco on Tuesday for issuing an order to stop Trump’s new emergency restrictions on asylum claims by immigrants from taking effect – calling Tigar “an Obama judge” – Chief Justice of the United States John Roberts issued a rare public statement rebuking the president.

“We do not have Obama judges or Trump judges, Bush judges or Clinton judges,” Roberts said Wednesday. “What we have is an extraordinary group of dedicated judges doing their level best to do equal right to those appearing before them."

Schumer piled on, criticizing President Trump in a Friday tweet: “I don’t agree very often with Chief Justice Roberts, especially his partisan decisions which seem highly political …. But I am thankful today that he – almost alone among Republicans – stood up to President Trump and for an independent judiciary.”

Roberts lost ALL cred when he declared the obamacare PENALTY a "tax."

His last statement about no left or right judges was just plain freakin' STUPID, and I don't think he FOOLED ANYONE. He just made himself look STUPID... AGAIN.

That Roberts included Kagan, Sotomayor and Ginsberg in that broadly cast false applauding and certifying net shows him to be both a dam liar and a conceited hypocrite. Kagan was supposed to recuse herself from that obamacare case but she refused to do so-- just as she promised obama she would do if he placed her as SCOTUS justice. That is why the scum got the gig.
Roberts has to have seen she that stunt by her and understood she has no integrity, honor or sense of justice...
I'd spit on them both were they ever in my front yard.
Ask yourself why these three women were ever chosen over all the others more qualified and far more fair with records showing greater and far better honorable judgement..
It is because these three justices remain completely faithful to their political ideologies rather than what the Constitution should uphold.
And in doing so break their sworn oaths... None of them have any honor or any integrity.-Tyr

Thiessen: Chief Justice Roberts is wrong. We do have Obama judges and Trump judges

For someone trying to demonstrate that the judiciary is not political, getting into a political fight with the president sure is a funny way to do it.

After President Trump called a judge who ruled against him an “Obama judge,” Chief Justice John Roberts issued an extraordinary public rebuke of the president, declaring in statement “We do not have Obama judges or Trump judges, Bush judges or Clinton judges.” Roberts was not only wrong to speak out, but also his claim that there are no Obama judges or Trump judges was wrong.

If we do not have Obama judges or Trump judges, then why did Senate Republicans block President Barack Obama’s nomination of Merrick Garland to replace the late Justice Antonin Scalia in the final year of Obama’s term? And why did Democrats filibuster Trump’s nominee, Neil Gorsuch, to fill Scalia’s seat?

Even Roberts’s fellow justices know there is a difference. If there were no Obama judges or Trump judges, then why did Anthony Kennedy wait for Trump’s election to announce his retirement? And why doesn’t Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg just retire now and let Trump nominate her replacement? Because they both want a president who would appoint a successor who shares their judicial philosophy. (And, lo and behold, Trump appointed a former Kennedy clerk, Brett Kavanaugh, to succeed him).

Roberts is correct that we should not have “Trump judges” or “Obama judges.” It would be better for the country if every judge, regardless of which president nominated him or her, strictly interpreted our laws and the Constitution. But the reality is that not all do. While conservative presidents tend to nominate judges who exercise a philosophy of judicial restraint — follow our laws as written — liberal presidents tend to nominate judicial activists who legislate from the bench and shape the law to reach their preferred outcomes. The left believes in a “living Constitution,” which can be interpreted to mean whatever they want it to mean without being formally amended.

Democratic presidents have been much more successful than Republicans in nominating Supreme Court judges who hew to their judicial philosophy.

And what is true of the Supreme Court applies even more to the appellate courts. Trump is right, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit is a disgrace. This is the court that ruled that the phrase “under God” in the Pledge of Allegiance was unconstitutional, that the Second Amendment doesn’t recognize an individual right to bear concealed arms and that bans on assisted suicide are unconstitutional.
