Chief Justice Roberts instructs the GOP's president on the basics of the American judiciary system...


because Trump knows nothing about it or, for that fact, anything. He only knows how to whine, lie, and pout when something doesn't go his way. That is how a spoiled toddler behaves.




WASHINGTON — Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. defended the independence and integrity of the federal judiciary on Wednesday, issuing a statement rebuking President Trump’s criticism of a judge who had ruled against the administration’s asylum policy. 

 The chief justice seemed particularly offended by Mr. Trump’s assertion that Judge Jon S. Tigar, of the United States District Court in San Francisco, was “an Obama judge.” Chief Justice Roberts said that was a profound misunderstanding of the judicial role. 

 “We do not have Obama judges or Trump judges, Bush judges or Clinton judges,” he said in a statement. “What we have is an extraordinary group of dedicated judges doing their level best to do equal right to those appearing before them. That independent judiciary is something we should all be thankful for.” 

 Chief Justice Roberts issued his statement in response to a request for comment from The Associated Press about Mr. Trump’s remarks on Tuesday concerning the asylum ruling, which ordered the administration to resume accepting asylum claims from migrants no matter where or how they entered the United States.

It's important and promising that the Chief Justice made this statement. Our courts are the last word and it seemed the Republican packed court might give the dictator president what he wanted. This statement puts Trump on notice that he must toe the legal line. Trump pisses off everyone, this time he pissed off the wrong guy. Trump is many rotten things, but this proves what an idiot he is.
