Biased Judges

A federal judge appointed by President Obama ruled against a Trump initiative. The President called it a bad ruling by “an Obama judge.” Chief Justice Roberts did something he rarely does, he publicly criticized the President’s choice of words.

Riffing on Roberts‘ criticism, Paul Mirengoff, an attorney who posts at Power Line, looks at the evidence and basically agrees with the President. He notes POTUS should have said “an Obama-appointed judge” and observes this is likely what Trump meant.

If the U.S. ever faces a secessionist movement in the current era, the intractably liberal Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals will be a major precipitating factor. BTW, I hope no such movement arises.
