| POTUS keeps up Justice Roberts exchange: Cites 9th Circuit as 'a complete & total disaster' |
| 2018-11-22 |
| [The Hill] President Trump on Thursday continued to respond to a rebuke from Chief Justice John Roberts, saying the Supreme Court justice "can say what he wants" while defending his criticism of the federal judiciary following a ruling against his administration this week. "Justice Roberts can say what he wants, but the 9th Circuit is a complete & total disaster," Trump wrote on Twitter, calling the San Francisco-based court of appeals "out of control." He also said "there will be only bedlam, chaos, injury and death" unless law enforcement can "DO THEIR JOB." Skipping down to the BLUF: "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," he tweeted. U.S. District Court Judge Jon Tigar on Monday had sided with opponents of the Trump administration policy prohibiting certain immigrants from claiming asylum, granting their request for a temporary restraining order. Trump blasted the ruling the following day while not referring to the judge by name but calling him "an Obama judge." Tigar was appointed to the federal bench by the former president in 2012. Trump went after the judge at the White House while railing against the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals, which hears cases appealed by the district court in California. |

| #3 I see that someone already moved it to Non-WoT. Fascinating how President Trump leveraged a small quarrel to start a national conversation. Again. |

| #2 Opinion? Probably, at least until they officially change the name to the 9th Circus Court. |
