‘You can hear the Klan’s lawyers’: Federal judge likens Trump’s attacks on judiciary to KKK

This guy sounds like a Traitor Roberts Judge.

President Trump has attacked the judiciary like few U.S. leaders before him, disparaging judges and their rulings as “dangerous,” “horrible” and “a complete and total disgrace.” Some of his supporters and fellow Republicans applaud and parrot him, but U.S. District Judge Carlton Reeves said he hears something sinister: echoes of a time when the Ku Klux Klan and the architects of the Jim Crow South attacked the courts for chipping away at segregation and racism.

Judge Reeves takes any criticism as a personal affront and assumes that he is entitled not only to his own opinion but to rhetorical deference from the president of the United States. He does not assume that he is owed rhetorical deference by the Paladins of the press, and he knows better to cross them. But a mere president of the United States? A Republican? That is just too much!

Yep. No bias in our judiciary. No siree Bob.

KKK have always been Democrats. Rats appear to be very frightened and angry that some black people are finally leaving their cozy plantation. This guy’s commentary reminds me of the Samuel Jackson “Stephen” character from Django Unchained.

Let’s bombard him with pictures of the governor of VA!!

Shiela Jackson Lee got her JD from UV. They produce some real geniuses there.

This guy should be removed from the federal bench, pronto.

His wife (or "husband") should start feeding him eggs,lard and other healthy stuff.

[Robert A Cook PE]

Yeah. No racial stereotyping going on in “his” mind, is there?

[Mr.Unique]

He should be impeached. Not for saying this, but for being dumb enough to believe it.

[fieldmarshaldj]

Impeach this racist, Stalinist bigot.

[Reno89519]

This judge must now refuse himself. Same for RBG but they think they are above reproach—gods.

[jimfree]

In the words of Harry Truman, “the son-of-a-bitch is no good.”

[vpintheak]

This POC judge needs to be impeached. By being such and outspoken a-hole, he has proven the point of a biased, outlandish judiciary.

One can always count on the Nazi pigs at the WP to pretend they are victims.

The beauty of these lies is that the Nazi sows at the WP have no idea how to defend themselves and will likely die in the first wave of CWII.

“When the executive branch calls our courts and their work ‘stupid,’ ‘horrible,’ ‘ridiculous,’ ‘incompetent,’ ‘a laughingstock,’” Reeves said, drawing from Trump’s Twitter feed, “you can hear the slurs and threats of executives like George Wallace, echoing into the present.”

Reeves and other communists are sounding more and more shrill and hysterical, are they not?

Of course the communist Reeves fails to state why such adjectives are being used, or that the target of the criticisms are activist judges who do not need the rule of law to make their biased and warped decisions.

Reeves may be projecting his own failures and hoping it sticks.

Trump derangement Syndrome, left to fester, sinks into this example of shear psychosis, delusions and paranoia.
