Chief Roberts said that there are no R judges or D judges but I am curious

[question everything]

Of whether any of the judges that told the Trump campaign to get lost was nominated by Trump. After all he did fill 200 offices.

[wryter2000]

1. There was at least one

In a thread here. I think the judge was in PA.

[ShazzieB]

4. Yes, I remember that judge. He was wonderful.

I feel like he wasn't the only R judge who ruled against Trump, but I can't say for sure.

2. many gave been republican appointed. What Roberts says is the why judges should not use ideology

over rule of law. We know that is not always the case. I always maintain that conservative judges know right from wrong as well as liberal judges

[dware]

3. Yep, a trump appointed judge dismissed a GA lawsuit.

Trump-Appointed Judge Rejects Lin Wood’s ‘Creative’ Election Lawsuit in Georgia
ADAM KLASFELDNov 19th, 2020, 6:09 pm 182

A federal judge appointed by President Donald Trump rejected what he called a “creative” lawsuit on Thursday. It was a suit that Georgia’s assistant attorney general warned would cause the Peach State’s largest disenfranchisement since the Jim Crow era.

“To halt the certification at literally the 11th hour would breed confusion and disenfranchisement that I find have no basis in fact and law,” U.S. District Judge Steven Grimberg declared at the end of a roughly two-and-a-half hour hearing.

Georgia’s assistant attorney general Russell Willard called the lawsuit an effort to roll back the clock on voting rights in the state.

“The election is over, and rather than accept that his candidate has lost, plaintiff seeks the largest disenfranchisement in Georgia since the abolition of the poll tax and the vestiges of Jim Crow,” Willard thundered.

8. Thanks. There still hope that the judiciary system can be trusted

After his determination to dismantle all the institutions.

5. Yes.

Many of the other decisions were by state court judges who wouldn't have been appointed by any president.

6. I'll believe him when the case involves something other than...

..."we filed a crappy case but you need to show loyalty to Trump."

Trump didn't pick them for their personal loyalty to him, he picked them because the Federalist Society and Heritage Foundation handed him a list and said "put these people on and we'll back you all the way."

When we get to cases near and dear to the hearts of radical conservatives, we'll see how impartial they are.

[question everything]

7. True. Blue no doubt he expected loyalty. Because that's the way he is

[StarfishSaver]

11. This

A couple of weeks ago, people were terrified that judges would go with Trump no matter what.

[Timewas]

9. Really it is a sad

It is a pretty sad state of affairs when every judge they nominated is suspect. Then again if they accepted they are suspect..Guilt by association

[StarfishSaver]

10. Several Trump judges ruled against him.

In fact, it might be easier to point to the Trump judges who DID go along with Trump, since there were so few of them.

12. Judicial ideologies don't line up cleanly with the traditional Republican or Democratic values

Gorsuch voted that discrimination against LGBTQ employees was discrimination on the basis of sex, handing a major a major victory to the LGBTQ community. He also voted that most of Western Oklahoma is an Indian reservation, handing a major victory a Native American tribe.

Kavanaugh handed consumers a huge win when he voted against Apple in a major antitrust case.

Both voted against Trump when Trump tried to shield his taxes from New York.

Gorsuch and Kavanaugh have handed victories to several conservative causes as well. They will probably side with conservative causes more often than liberal ones, but their views don't align cleanly with the Republican or Democratic platforms.

[question everything]

13. Agree. This is why I hope that Barrett will not join Thomas and Alito

The two rabids in the court.
