John Roberts, Chief Justice of the United States, finally has enough of Trump’s judge-bashing, and pushes back. Trump being Trump, he continues his peevish and ill-informed criticism of the Federal judiciary.

(bolding mine) > [@Trump](#): > > 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 … are so many opposing view (on Border and Safety) cases filed there, and why are a vast number of those cases overturned. Please study the numbers, they are shocking. We need protection and security - these rulings are making our country unsafe! Very dangerous and unwise! Roberts get minus 5 DKP 😉 for not immediately pointing out that judges are charged with the safety of our country, which depends on an independent judiciary. ---

The article goes on to mention that former President Obama said that he was thankful for the future “generation of leaders” in remarks he made at a surprise appearance at a Chicago food bank. As always, I’m not surprised that Trump demonstrates once again that he is a self-absorbed piece of shit – I’m surprised that ~40% of the country still approves of him. ---

[Trump administration wants Supreme Court to take up transgender military ban now](https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/supreme-court/trump-administration-wants-supreme-court-take-transgender-military-ban-now-n939531) Trump wants to skip over all those courts he’s never heard of and take his ban on transgendered people serving in the armed forces directly to the Supreme Court. The administration’s explanation for this is that Obama’s order allowing transgendered people to serve is creating such immediate problems in the armed forces that the issue can’t wait. No explanation is given why the Trump administration has waited two years before taking this step to address the emergency. ---
