Trump Might Be Right about the 9th Circuit Court
On Thanksgiving, President Donald Trump tweeted that the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit was a “complete and total disaster.”
President Trump was angry because of a Nov. 19 decision by U.S. District Judge Jon Tigar. The President told reporters on Nov. 20 that Tigar’s decision to block a Trump Administration order that denied asylum to illegal immigrants until at least Dec. 19, when Tigar will hold a hearing, was a “disgrace.”
Trump also called Tigar an “Obama judge.” Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts publicly said Trump’s categorization of judges as “Obama judges” was wrong, a comment that led to the president’s Thanksgiving tweet. In his tweet, Trump wrote that judges who “legislate security” are “making our country unsafe.”
