Trump says he may break up 9th Circuit Court after rulings go against him

http://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-room/330757-trump-says-hes-absolutely-considering-breaking-up-court-that-blocked

In a Wednesday interview with the Washington Examiner, Trump said "there are many people who want to break up the 9th Circuit. It's outrageous."

In the interview, Trump accused liberals of "judge-shopping" for a court that would strike down his executive order.

"I mean, the language on the ban, it reads so easy that a reasonably good student in the first grade will fully understand it. And they don't even mention the words in their rejection on the ban," Trump said.

Trump claimed the court oversteps its authority and that his opponents "immediately run" to the court for "semi-automatic" rulings.

The union is not perfect. And a good portion of it is still democratic even though the FL GOP would wish it not to be.

2. And who is judge-shopping now? Why, Trump the lying non-president.

I feel impeachment would be very appropriate here.

The courts are what is keeping the madman in check. It's called checks and balances and this unbalanced cretin needs to be checked constantly.

6. So he thinks he can break up, rearrange, and send judges home?

He's out of his freaking mind. He clearly doesn't understand government. He thinks he's a ruler.

King Donny Dollhands does it on a regular basis, and now he's bitching about judges allegedly doing it?

13. I'm sure he was just as upset when Republicans went judge shopping in Texas, right?

Of course he wasn't upset. But this nonsense about the Ninth Circuit just tells me Trump is popping off about something he doesn't know anything about. Again. Remember his stupid comments on NATO? He later conceded that he'd opened his stupid yapper because he didn't know anything about NATO. Same goes here.

14. It's Congress who would do that, not the president. I guess he could float the idea with them.

I doubt they'd touch it.

His writing skill is at the level of a first grader. And yes, first graders can see that Trump is a bigot and a buffoon.
