On Saturday morning, President Donald Trump may have unleashed his most bone-chilling tweet -- at least to those who believe the United States should not become a Trump-led dictatorship. And I don't make that comment simply to be provocative or without giving it a great deal of thought. Our democracy is far more fragile than some might grasp and Trump is engaging in a concerned effort to undermine the workings of it.
Here is Trump's truly jaw-dropping tweet from Saturday morning: "The opinion of this so-called judge, which essentially takes law-enforcement away from our country, is ridiculous and will be overturned!"
Why is this so concerning? It's OK to argue about whether the judge should or shouldn't have issued this order. But Trump is apparently attempting to delegitimize our federal judiciary by calling Judge James Robart, a George W. Bush-appointed judge, a "so-called" judge while arguing that his decision is "ridiculous."
Let's be blunt, because the stakes demand it: An independent federal judiciary is our last, best hope at preventing Trump from violating the US Constitution and illegally grabbing power. And Trump has to understand that, hence his attempt to undermine it.

We need to analyze the ‘so-called’ part closer. It means Robart has something about to be exposed.
I feel a draft but, not bone chilling. I am not seeing a dictator, maybe someone who speaks his mind. Im not sure how I feel about it . There are many judges who have the goal to make the Constitution a living document. I am not sure how you can interpret the Constitution giving rights to non citizens.
These articles have basically reached the level of self-parody now.
Trump can't say anything negative about a judge but it's OK for 0 to call the SCOTUS out in his State of the Union and more or less tell them that they f@(#ed up on national TV.
Uh, stupid guy, sir? Were you PAYING ATTENTION during the last 8 years, the tenure of the most anti-Constitutional, extra-Constitutional, anti-citizen, anti-democratic, pro-goobermint guy ever to hold the orifice?? Or are you just the poster victim for the scourge of TDS?
Judicial. Overreach without accountability is what’s “bone chilling”
wahhhh, since when to leftists run to the constitution? Wahhhhh wahhh...can’t wait until these radical illegal terrorists get hungry and cold and demand he open the home and the frig.
The President has less power than 1 US Circuit Court judge. With a stroke his pen he nullified national policy. It will take years of legal proceedings to determine the power of the judge versus the president.
“Whats bone chilling is that the rule of law and the consent of the governed have been absolutely usurped by bow-tie wearing ass clowns and weepy-eyed butt boys, crying for black lives matter!
FIFY!
They’ll harp on this for a year until we all believe it’s a big deal.
I wish CNN were a nation. I would certainly ban entry to those with a CNN passport.
I’m feeling triggered all of a sudden.
There are about 55 million of us, normally peaceful, who ate getting fed up with his leftist crap. You all are risking unleashing a giant.
You will not like the results.
Something’s about to happen to this Robart, isn’t it.
Didn’t Obama throw a hissy fit over Citizen’s United?
The Farce is strong with this one...
ROFL
Oh, it’s ok to delegitimize a president by a congressman, but not a nobody federal judge?
Grow up, snowflake.
Say it ain't so. The president thinks the judge isn't much of a judge and the judge's decision is ridiculous .
Chilling!
Brrr!
LOL.
