Chief Justice Roberts pushes back on Trump’s criticism of ‘Obama judge’

Chief Justice John Roberts

Chief Justice John Roberts on Wednesday rebuked President Trump‘s criticism of a federal judge who ruled against his administration’s asylum policy this week as “an Obama judge.”

Roberts said in a rare statement first reported by The Associated Press that the U.S. doesn’t have “Obama judges or Trump judges, Bush judges or Clinton judges.”

“What we have is an extraordinary group of dedicated judges doing their level best to do equal right to those appearing before them,” Roberts said in the statement released by the Supreme Court’s press office.
