Trump: 'I'll Criticize Judges' Even Though I've Been Told Not To

During a speech at a Tuesday fundraiser for the National Republican Congressional Committee, the House Republican campaign arm, President Donald Trump disregarded the recommendation that he not lash out at judges.
"The courts are not helping us, I have to be honest with you. It's ridiculous. Somebody said I should not criticize judges. OK, I'll criticize judges," Trump said while discussing court orders blocking his travel ban.
Trump's comments came after his Supreme Court nominee, Judge Neil Gorsuch, said on Tuesday that attacks on the judiciary are "disheartening."
"When anyone criticizes the honesty or integrity, the motives of a federal judge, I find that disheartening," Gorsuch said at his Senate confirmation hearing when asked about Trump's attacks on judges.

Trump voters are morons to have thought that this clown was fit to be president.

(24,710 posts)is just fine and dandy, this says something about there character and principles and also says something about the basic logic of law and order, they f***ing don't believe in it, unless it's for them.
As for the "guy" named Nell Gorsuch, every democrat in that committee should be asking this jerk:
Why are you sitting in that seat, when it was held vacate by your party "not following the Constitution" , and you want to come in here and take a seat that isn't yours, how can you justify and sleep at night knowing that, why are sitting here?
Do you think that what your party is doing "fair" because whatever you answer to that question says exactly of who and what you are?
Because it says everything about your principles, that you have none----------------you think party is more important than the Constitution, because you are sitting in that chair?
And then get up and walk out
