Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts calls out Trump for his attack on a judge [View all]

Published: 11/21/18 01:15 PM EST

Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts took a swipe at President Donald Trump, saying there are no “Obama judges or Trump judges” after Trump attacked the judge who ruled against his attempt to restrict asylum-seekers at the border.

“We do not have Obama judges or Trump judges, Bush judges or Clinton judges,” Roberts said in a statement. “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.”

Trump, who has a history of attacking judges, dismissively called Judge Jon Tigar an “Obama judge” on Tuesday and said the 9th Circuit “is something we have to take a look at because it is not fair.”
