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. It would be great if the 9th Circuit was indeed an “independent judiciary,” but if it is why......

1. Ha ha, 14 minutes later and he still hasn't finished part II of his deep thoughts!!

Keep it coming, Spanky!!

[Jeffersons Ghost]

8. K&R for a 5th rec. I don't think the Tweet will be finished

[exboyfil]

10. I have visions of his WH Attorney

desperately trying to break down the bathroom door as he Tweets his second message.

[japple]

36. Hahahaha!!!! Maybe the tRUMP was hindered by poor digestion and

his toxic intestinal tract!

[Cha]

18. lol

[JHan]

31. lollollolol

[forgotmylogin]

34. As with the covfefe tweet...

I get great amusement out of imagining the aides who are charged with wrestling the phone out of his hand when things become dire and Thrump is off his meds.

[Lithos]

2. Hmm, which Chief Justice sits as judge for the trial of President...

*Hint* There is only one...

L-

[WheelWalker]

3. Dumb as a stump.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

4. This won't end well for Trump.

Sometimes we complain about lifetime appointments for federal judges, but there are times when we see why it can be a good thing. This is one of them. There's not a damn thing Tiny can do to control Chief Justice Roberts.

[JCMach1]

25. Correct... Roberts is several magnitudes of intelligence higher than Trump..

[enough]

5. Good. This is the one thing he can do to alienate himself from the current SCOTUS.

[exboyfil]

12. And unless Trump has pictures

both Gorsuch and Kavanaugh are now strongly encouraged to exercise judicial independence. Otherwise they go down in history as Trump judges.

[Just a Weirdo]

14. I'm all out of fucks to give...

If they rule for Trump, then they are history. Both k and g.

[rzemanfl]

6. Fuck you Drumpf, you Nazi. K&R n/t

[Cracklin Charlie]

7. Stable genius.

[gratuitous]

9. Worse staging than a pro wrestling "feud"

Color me unpersuaded by the bona fides of those involved.

[Blue Owl]

11. The dot dot dot dotard...

Hey tRump, don't even bother with your part II -- just wipe your ass and resign already...

[oberliner]

13. Somehow Roberts is becoming the "reasonable moderate" (for a Republican) on the Court

Or so it seems.

[shanny]

28. a terrifying thought in itself

[Dave in VA]

15. Oh yes

you orange hemorrhoid, pleae proceed...

[DBoon]

16. Sorry Donald "small hands" Trump

Judicial independence is designed to thwart would-be dictators such as yourself.

That and the other institutional controls you describe as the "deep state" are meant to prevent you from converting the USA from a constitutional democracy into a banana republic.

[malaise]

17. And the fucking ignoramus knows more about judges than the

Chief Justice.
Please proceed asshole!

[suffragette]

19. What really irks Trump: "Every case that gets filed in the Ninth Circuit we get beaten."

https://www.nytimes.com/2018/11/21/us/politics/trump-chief-justice-roberts-rebuke.html

He can’t stand that the Ninth Circuit rightfully and consistently overturns his unjust and inhumane proclamations.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

20. Maybe there's a reason for that.

Like the fact that they were legally justified claims. And one reason a lot of immigration cases wind up in the 9th Circuit is because they started out in states covered by that court, notably California and Arizona.

[suffragette]

21. Exactly so, and it annoys the hell out of him. Hard to be a dictator when we still have the rule of

law.

[LeftInTX]

30. I remember Gingrich wanting to abolish

the 9th Circuit or something like that

[GoCubsGo]

22. Keep digging, Asshole.

If you think Justice Roberts is going to forget this shit when the Mueuller case comes up in front of him and the USSC, you are even more deluded than we all know you are.

[Volaris]

24. Yep I expect the SC gavel in Roberts hand will need to be renamed Mjolinr in very short order...

Just to make a point to this half-wit.

[world wide wally]

23. Trump is taking Putin's orders to "destroy the Unites States" literally

And working overtime to please his master.

[tanyev]

26. Oh, please proceed, dumbass.

[vlyons]

27. How to win friends and influence people

[CincyDem]

29. 18 minutes of "dead air" between the tweets....who's doing his tweets ? Rose Mary Woods ?

background: Rose Mary Woods was Nixon's secretary who famously claimed (and acrobatically demonstrated how) she inadvertently erased 18 minutes of the Oval recordings during Watergate.

[BlueJac]

32. Moron!

[KY_EnviroGuy]

33. Keep on alienating your friends, Donny.

We're here to help all we can....... ......

[NastyRiffraff]

35. His bucket of KFC arrived

and he got distracted.

[Honeycombe8]

37. I love it. What nutcase would POSSIBLY want to anger the CHIEF JUSTICE OF THE S.CT?????

We know who!

[LakeArenal]

41. Meglamania is strong in this one, Grasshopper.

[WestMichRad]

38. Hey Asshole!

Yeah, you, Trump. The judge you're railing against isn't even on the 9th Circuit - he's a US District Court Judge. Too stupid to figure out they aren't the same thing, eh?

[LakeArenal]

39. Really doesn't sound like trump.

“Indeed”? “”Independent Judiciary””?

Such grammar. Such spell check. Just can’t be him.

[Miles Archer]

47. One could build a case for saying it has...

...that Stephen Miller "The president will not be questioned" tone.

[gtar100]

40. What strikes me is how tRump reveals the bullshit republicans think of themselves.

They think of themselves as those "who are charged with the safety of our country." I recognize that screed from republicans frequently. What I see are republicans who get involved in public security matters are generally politically motivated and end up making really stupid decisions over and over because their political beliefs and prejudices trump good judgment.

Unfortunately, control freaks seek control and our cultural and societal systems have weak protections against such asshats getting into positions of power and authority. Cases in point...every republican in the Congress and Senate. Closer to home - local representatives who are republican often act privileged and entitled but rarely actually represent the people in their districts other than for their pet projects and prejudices. It's a guarantee that arrogant police officers are republicans. Or security guards...same story.

They love to be in charge but they typically suck at the jobs they take.

[dalton99a]

42. "Roberts, get on the phone and tell your judges to get with the program"

"or else"

[IcyPeas]

43. oh look he did something right....

he placed the comma before the quote mark. and he spelled independent AND judiciary right.

in other words....

No way did he write this.

also, I'm sure trump would have capitalized the word "country"

and I'm sure he wouldn't have spelled out in its entirety Chief Justice John Roberts..... that's way to respectful.

[duforsure]

44. How long before we find out he's been pressuring them

To commit their loyalty to only him, and they are resisting his demands to be corrupted by him. I also think he'll try to force others out like he did to Kennedy, and they know this .

[oldlibdem]

45. I forsee many rulings in favor of the prosecution....

At trumps impeachment proceedings by chief justice Roberts

[INdemo]

46. As the old saying goes, as Trump now takes on the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court

"Trump you just shit in your nest"

[Javaman]

48. pissing off a conservative majority court. huh, is this part of some "genius" plan

he has concocted to get them to side with his halfwit agenda?

LOL
