“Disheartening and demoralizing,” wailed Judge Neil Gorsuch of President Trump’s comments about the judges seeking to overturn his 90-day ban on travel to the U.S. from the Greater Middle East war zones.
What a wimp. Did our future justice break down crying like Sen. Chuck Schumer? Sorry, this is not Antonin Scalia. And just what horrible thing had our president said?
A “so-called judge” blocked the travel ban, said Trump. And the arguments in court, where 9th Circuit appellate judges were hearing the government’s appeal, were “disgraceful.” “A bad student in high school would have understood the arguments better.”
Did the president disparage a couple of judges? Yep.
Yet compare his remarks to the tweeted screeds of Elizabeth Warren after her Senate colleague, Jeff Sessions, was confirmed as attorney general.
Sessions, said Warren, represents “radical hatred.” And if he makes “the tiniest attempt to bring his racism, sexism & bigotry” into the Department of Justice, “all of us” will pile on.
Now this is hate speech. And it validates Majority Leader Mitch McConnell’s decision to use Senate rules to shut her down.
These episodes reveal much about America 2017.
They reflect, first, the poisoned character of our politics. The language of Warren — that Sessions is stepped in “racism, sexism & bigotry” echoes the ugliest slander of the Hillary Clinton campaign, where she used similar words to describe Trump’s “deplorables.”

Trump needs to start being like the Clinton Crime Family, anyone who opposes or threatens them, dies! There are over 65 bodies attributed to them as died in accidents, suicides, diseases, Lightning.
You are wrong in your thinking 11:04. We do not need anymore Clinton tactics. We have had enough of that. Which is why Trump got elected. Good will triumph over evil.
Trump send the DAMN MEMO.
Trump needs to kill the opposition, they are ruining this country because they won't let him do anything to Make America Great again. He does need to at the very least do this Clinton tactic, the killings.
DO IT NOW TRUMP.
Don't forget about the comment Supreme court Justice Ginsburg said about Trump before he was elected.
"In three separate interviews the justice sounded off on Trump, at one point saying she didn't “want to contemplate” the effects a Trump candidacy would have on the court. Ginsburg is known for her liberal bent, but the comments created a firestorm nonetheless because members of the Supreme Court generally avoid getting involved in presidential politics."
Why hasn't Ginsburg resigned from the bench after demonstrating her inability to be impartial?
