... I only ask for fairness
This is a terrible thing to say, Trump argued.
The president did not see the comments as a warning of justices who were not acting impartially but instead said Sotomayor was trying to shame fellow justices into voting her way.
He then also lashed out at Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg.
She never criticized Justice Ginsberg when she called me a faker. Both should recuse themselves on all Trump, or Trump related, matters! Trump demanded, complete with an exclamation mark.
While elections have consequences, I only ask for fairness, especially when it comes to decisions made by the United States Supreme Court, Trump claimed.

It is almost like he has never read the constitution..?!?! Judge tampering in the highest court of the land... Heh the fucker is officially out of control
Hitler decreed that the Peoples Court would replace trial courts in political cases, including treason. Only loyal Nazis could be judges and treason would be defined as any form of opposition to National Socialism.

When he doesn't want them discussing the economy or one of his other blunders, he spits out a few idiotic tweets and they run to them like cats chasing a laser pointer.

(19,205 posts)must recuse themselves as well. Virginia Thomas works for Trump, supplying him with lists of "disloyal" Deep State employees in various governmental agencies that need to be fired. And how can we forget SC Judge Kavanaugh, the hard partying sex offender who is totally on the Trump payroll?
Fair? Trump has never wanted anything concerning him to be "fair". He always wants the table tilted in his direction, whether by tying things up in court ad infinitum, or by having foreign enemy countries hack into our election voting systems to skew the results in his favor. Yeah, fair.

PRETZEL
(3,245 posts)it's generally unheard of for an Associate Justice to not so subtly call out the Chief Justice like this.
She didn't have to mention it directly but the implications are as clear as the day is long.
We may very well be starting to see the legacy of John Roberts appear right before out eyes.
A partisan hack, leading a majority of conservative party hacks.

(32,917 posts)... how about the 2 obvious choices - Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh? They both need to recuse regardless of the others, since they were both appointed by Chump. Clarence Thomas should also recuse because of his wife's recent lobbying and politicking.
By the way I think it would be absurd for Justices Sotomayor and Ginsburg to recuse, simply because it's demanded by Chump, simply because they are women. Chump has made way too many accusations against female judges, and I think we all know where this is going.

(33,058 posts)Gorsuch & Kavanaugh because Apricothellbeast appointed them, Thomas because his wife is a long long time hard right republican operative. It is only fair.
