“We do not have Obama judges or Trump judges, Bush
judges or Clinton judges,” Roberts said in a statement issued by the court.
“What we have is an extraordinary group of dedicated judges doing their level
best to do equal right to those appearing before them. That independent
judiciary is something we should all be thankful for.”
Roberts has been mostly silent after previous
criticisms voiced by Trump against the judiciary, but Trump’s angry statements
Tuesday apparently crossed a line.
“I’m going to put in a major complaint, because you
cannot win—if you’re us—a case in the 9th Circuit and I think it’s a disgrace,”
Trump said as he left for Florida. He was responding to a question about
the ruling issued by U.S. District Judge Jon Tigar of the
Northern District of California ordering a resumption of accepting asylum
claims regardless of where the claimants entered the United States.
“When people file—every case gets filed in the 9th
Circuit because they know—that’s not law. That’s not what this country stands
for,” Trump told reporters. “They file it in what’s called the 9th Circuit.
This was an Obama judge. And I’ll tell you what, it’s not going to happen like
this anymore.”
Trump continued, “The 9th Circuit is really
something we have to take a look at because it’s — because it’s not fair.
People should not be allowed to immediately run to this very friendly circuit
and file their case.”
Trump also said that when the asylum case makes its
way to the Supreme Court, “we will win.”
