US does have 'Obama judges': Trump responds to Supreme Court Justice John Roberts'
#2
I think it is naive to say that judges and justices are impartial. There is obviously partisan bias and political concerns injected into their rulings and we have seen more of that over the past 30 or so years thanks to the efforts of some specific actors. All of that being said, the biases are most often a factor in more difficult rulings that aren't too cut and dry. This specific instance was one in which Trump was attempting to go against law in a pretty obvious way. His commentary is a surefire way to ensure that more moderate judges and justices, like Roberts, where they may lean more to the right but not as far right as some others, aren't going to be ruling in his favor as often. Those jurists do hold the independent judiciary as a sacred thing and won't take kindly to his shenanigans.
