Chief Justice Roberts says personal criticism of judges is dangerous and has ‘got to stop’

Care to provide some proof of that?

Or are you...
Of the 64 injunctions Trump’s first Republican administration was slapped with, 92.2% were issued by judges appointed by Democrats. All — 100% — of the 14 injunctions issued against Democrat Biden came from Republican-appointed judges.
Almost a year before Trump’s return to the White House, the Harvard Law Review also warned against the practice of “judge shopping,” essentially looking at the partisan leanings of various federal judges and bringing a complaint in a given district based on a judge’s presumed political leanings. During the first Trump administration, more injunctions were issued against the president by federal District Court judges in deep-blue California than by judges in any other state.
The second Trump term is seemingly witnessing a repeat of this effect. The Washington Stand conducted an analysis of all the lawsuits either already heard or pending a ruling or injunction at the District Court level against the second Trump administration, disregarding the handful of cases being overseen by federal magistrate judges. Of the 69 District Court judges presiding over cases involving the Trump administration, 21 were appointed by Republican presidents: two by Ronald Reagan, one by George H.W. Bush, eight by George W. Bush, and 10 by Trump himself. Already, several of those Republican-appointed judges have issued injunctions or rulings against Trump’s executive orders and actions. The other 48 District Court judges overseeing complaints against the Trump administration were appointed by Democrats: seven by Bill Clinton, 20 by Obama, and 21 by Biden.





The evidence is comprehensive and overwhelming. Politically Leftist, activist judges--and some Conservative ones too--are using their position on the bench to, in effect, make politics and even run the country to some extent. The same names keep popping up in cases against the Trump administration. Judge shopping is occurring and judges are ruling on politics, not the law. It's a travesty of what America is supposed to be.

Ohhhhhh..... I get it .... when you said...

"Judges are should not be dictators and making up law as they go. Yet, many do, particularly ones that hew to the political Left."

....you were only talking about since trump has been in office.

Which would stand to reason of course, given that these judges were appointed by Democrats because of their ideological leanings, just as conservative judges who were appointed by Republicans, were chosen for THEIR ideological leanings. And let's not forget that the opposition party to the party in office, always challenges what the other side does. Even moreso with trump who everybody knows has done nothing but push the limits of democracy and constitutionality in everything he's done since day one.

But the main thing is that your claim or insinuation that it's been mostly left leaning judges over every administration going back decades is absurd.

Since 1960, the Republican Party has held the presidency for the most years. Including Donald Trump's 2025 inauguration, Republicans have held the office for roughly 36 years (Nixon, Ford, Reagan, Bush, Bush, Trump), while Democrats have held it for roughly 29 years (Kennedy, Johnson, Carter, Clinton, Obama, Biden).

So obviously there would be a slight dominance in left leaning judges challenging right leaning Presidents.

No, this has always been the case. The only difference is that Trump seems to make the Left crazy. Judges up to Trump in office were more restrained about using blanket and national injunctions. Since Trump has been in office, the number of these has eclipsed the total that went before that in the entire history of the US.

And, as I've clearly demonstrated, from multiple sources, it is mostly progressive Leftist judges doing it. Not entirely, but mostly.

The left has always been crazy. Trump just makes them prove it...

That's because trump shits all over the law and wipes his ass with The Constitution.

If you MAGA assholes gave a shit about this nation, it would make you crazy too.

But it doesn't because you don't. 🖕🏼

That's because trump has created MORE REASONS FOR THEM, you thick skulled half-wit!!! :palm:

The only thing you've demonstrated is that trump has caused every bit of what you're pissing your diaper over.

Grow up, you little twit.

Once again, you didn't bother to read your own sources.
