It really doesn't take much to get all the Trumpies to turn against anyone Trump doesn't like or gets into an argument with. Talk about mindless drones.
Levin AND Shapiro agree?

brb need to hear hannity's thoughts before making my decision of whether or not trump is right
WTF?
judges are politicized conservative or progressive, or in between.
Conservative judges are mostly assholes in the service of the oligarchy and Christian supremacy
"Obama judge" or "Bush judge" implies they pick up a phone and call Obama or Bush before making a decision. Unfortunately, even though it should be obvious that's not the case, Roberts had to spell it out.

Here’s the reality; the same Left that despises President Trump despised George W. Bush long before him. For the most part, the talk about Trump disgracing the office, the talk about Trump’s toxic personality, the talk about Trump’s divisiveness — all of it is just a cover for the fact that those on the cultural left despise those who aren’t on the political left. They see them as idiots and rubes (W.), or as evil manipulators (Cheney). For them, Trump isn’t an outlier — he’s merely the latest iteration of the das ly conservative movement that launched with Nixon, extended through Reagan, grew to Bush, and now culminates in Trump. At least McKay is honest enough to admit that simple fact. Trump, for the Left, isn’t a departure from conservatism. He’s just another variation on a theme: All conservatives are evil.

Which is why, of course, Trump is the president right now. Leftist contempt for conservatives seeps through Hollywood and drips off our television and movie screens. And conservatives responded in 2016 to that contempt by nominating a man who wouldn’t take an insult, who wouldn’t respect the office of the presidency enough to forgo a cultural fight. Those on the right elected Trump more to fight those like McKay than to fight those like Nancy Pelosi. That’s why they revel in Trump’s tweets (see Schitt, Adam) and his willingness to slam anyone who knocks him (see Admiral McRaven). Trump doesn’t take, for lack of a better word, schitt. And conservatives have been taking it for far too long.
didn't need to. I knew it was going to be hot take bull .
Trump’s judicial fantasy: What Chief Justice Roberts could have told him but didn’t
As unusual as Roberts’s comments were,
he could have said so much more, like maybe, you’ve got to be kidding, Mr. President, if you think your judicial problems are confined to “Obama” judges in a single circuit.
He could have noted that the number of rulings against his administration’s actions now stands somewhere in the range of about 40 to 50, according to a rough estimate by The Washington Post.
Norman Siegel, writing at Law.com in January,
counted 37 “major” losses,
and that was in January, before numerous other rulings that thwarted Trump administration decisions.
And he could have observed that all of this is a bit of a surprise. All presidents lose cases.
But a losing streak of this magnitude for a president is a new phenomenon.
Despite the endless decades of rhetoric about “judicial activism,”
judges at the district court level are generally a timid lot
when it comes to confronting presidents. Historically, they are inclined to do what former federal judge Nancy Gertner calls “duck, avoid and evade.”
Perhaps ‘judging in a time of Trump’ ” is different, she wrote. “It is one thing to ‘duck, avoid and evade’ when you believe that official actors are acting more or less within cons utional bounds.
It is another to do so when you are concerned about real abuse of power.”
An abuse of power was what Tigar found: “Whatever the scope of the President’s authority,” he wrote, “he may not rewrite the immigration laws to impose a condition that Congress has expressly forbidden.”
Roberts could have noted that those defeats have come at the hands of judges appointed not just by Democratic presidents
but by Republicans dating all the way back to Ronald Reagan.
how could Trump forget that it was his own appointee, Timothy J. Kelly of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, who slapped down the effort to ban CNN’s Jim Acosta from the White House.
rulings thwarting Trump have also come from judges sitting in New York, Maryland, the District of Columbia, Pennsylvania, Illinois, Massachusetts, Virginia, Michigan and beyond.
Republican appointees outside the 9th Circuit have actually seemed more inclined than others to lecture the president about the Cons ution.

Trash has not gone after the 9th, yet, so I bet his 9th comments were dictated to him to signal that the oligarchy is going to be handing Trash some really nasty candidates for the 9th, which has 6 vacancies.

Has your mom told you what's going on with the stock market yet, Chris?
Still waiting on something, anything from Spurstalk stock market hawk Pavlov.
You're getting laughter from me because you're so completely ignorant, Chris.
lol Chris
Saw this. Yup, if the districts were apolitical then all the immigration cases wouldn't go to the 9th circuit.
Border state districts hear immigration cases.
Wow!

Obama criticized the Supreme Court's campaign finance decision.
Justice Alito mouths 'not true' at Obama. Roberts said nothing then. (link: https://youtu.be/BYIV4DwKWyg) youtu.be/BYIV4DwKWyg via

Amazing how people will abandon common sense just because DRUMPF.
He noted that this is not the first time a president clashed with a chief justice, pointing to Abraham Lincoln's "fierce debate" with Roger B. Taney over Dred Scott and habeas corpus.
"So this is a fight that John Roberts, I think, didn't want to pick," Bennett said. "By the way, when he talks about the independence of the judiciary, I wonder if he tapped Ruth Bader Ginsburg on the wrist when she was criticizing candidate Trump and saying he was a fake and a phony, because that's not really above the fray, is it?"
Where was Roberts when former President Barack Obama actually threatened the Supreme Court prior to their ruling on Obamacare? Obama, you may recall, complained that should the Court rule against the individual mandate, it would be an unprecedented display of judicial activism.
Where were Roberts and the media when the late Senator John McCain and Senator Jeff Flake actually proposed legislation to break up the Ninth Circuit because they viewed it as overly liberal?
Not amazing. They don't have a moral compass.
What is your moral compass, derp?
Check this out. They know the 9th is OP and the ultimate fail safe against Trump.
That you're a compulsive sociopath.
