Chief Justice Roberts chides Trump: No such thing as 'Obama judges'

Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. issued a striking rebuff to President Trump on Wednesday, saying there is no such thing as “Obama judges or Trump judges” and insisting the country’s federal judges uphold their independence from politics.

The scolding — unprecedented for Chief Justice Roberts — took the legal world by surprise and irked Mr. Trump, who responded with a barrage of tweets defending his complaints about anti-Trump judges and telling the judiciary’s leader that his underlings are threatening the country’s security with their rulings.

“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,” the president tweeted Wednesday.

Mr. Trump took to Twitter Thursday morning again in response to Chief Justice Roberts’ rebuke.

You folks really need to research and understand the fumdamentalndefinition of "traitor". Here's a hint; it does not equate to people who choose not to blindly follow your particular political views.

Is that all you got out of this article? I just wonder why a Supreme Court Justice show any political views without being asked. He is also wrong. President's do appoint court judges to look out for their welfare or party. If he doesn't believe that then he needs to step down.

You folks 4:42, need to get a grip on your view of traitor. Here is a hint, read post 5:08 for your learning experience.
And enlighten us on what you mean by fu"m"damentalndefinition. I would take a guess at your political views, but that would be in your mind only and I hope it stays there. Your views are welcome to me, I'm not "offended". Now there's a word used as much as the term racist today. Have a great weekend 4:42.
