Federal judge compares Trump to KKK, says president engaged in 'great assault on our judiciary'
Washington Times ^ | 4/12/19 | Alex Swoyer, Bailey Vogt

A federal judge delivered a speech Thursday lambasting President Trump’s administration, saying the president has selected judicial nominees that do not represent the diversity of America.

During a speech at the University of Virginia School of Law, Judge Carlton W. Reeves, an Obama appointee, compared the president to the Ku Klux Klan and called his administration a “great assault on our judiciary.”

“When politicians attack courts as ‘dangerous,’ ‘political,’ and guilty of ‘egregious overreach,’ you can hear the Klan’s lawyers, assailing officers of the court across the South,” the judge said.

He noted 90 percent of the president’s picks for the federal bench have been white.

This so-called judge is a typical Obama ‘judge’. They’re all biased and hostile to the rule of law.

He is right. Trump only appoints judges who follow the law.

The only thing a federal judge is supposed to represent is the Constitution as written.

Impeach him right away.


Yes, the democrat-controlled House will vote articles of impeachment of this guy. Sorry, but he’ll serve until he drops. Yes another fundamental change for our country.

After this, somebody should ask Justice Roberts whether he still believes that judges are not political.

Remove this dirtbag from the bench. He does not deserve to be a judge.

Silly. THAT kind of “talk” doesn’t qualify as ‘hate’ because it’s anti Trump.

Quite frankly I think this violates the code of professional responsibility, the code of ethics lawyers are legally bound to obey. If a lawyer said this about a judge the could definitely be sanctioned.

It is clear that he cannot rule fairly and objectively. Just confirms that we need more judges to counter balance his extremism. Trump, please continue flooding the courts with conservative judes.

Hmmm...I vaguely recall Obama attacking the Supreme Court for the Citizens United decision at the State of the Union address.
