Donald Trump's most bone-chilling tweet
CNN ^ | February 4, 2017 | Dean Obeidallah

Posted on 02/04/2017 6:59:36 PM PST by EveningStar

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.

Snowflakes NEED to be kept chilled. The Donald is doing them a favor by sending out this “chilling” tweet.

It is a tweet for the twits.

"But Trump is apparently attempting to delegitimize our federal judiciary..."

And CNN knows this because they've attempted to delegitimize Trump as a candidate, as a nominee, and as our President.

This was mild compared to what I’ve heard liberals say about judges who weren’t liberal enough for them.

First off, America is NOT a Democracy...it is a REPUBLIC!!!

Second, your bones should chill, because of your worthless words and attitudes and butt kissing is why we are in the mess we are in...

Third, WE, the American Voter put President Donald J. Trump into office, you did everything you could to rip him apart and are still trying, but you won’t win...because over half of the population in America are backing President Trump...

Fourth, WE WON...You lost, so get OVER IT!!!

...calling Judge James Robart,.. a “so-called” judge while arguing that his decision is “ridiculous....

Any Judge that supports BLM with statements from the bench saying sosactually is a “so-called” judge. With his off the bench involvement with refugee”movement” he should have recused himself rather than calling the press into the Courtroom to make a self aggrandizing ruling that is contrary to the statute.

He's correct on the Law as written.

The 'rats like to legislate from the bench by picking one of 677 Federal Judges who are likely favorable to their feelings.

Yeah, let alone all the various anti-Constitutional, extra-Constitutional, and unConstitutional stuff Ebola did, he did THIS VERY THING — issued a temporary ban on travel/immigration from a specific list of countries. Where was this judge then? If he’s so sporadic he sometimes catches stuff and sometimes doesn’t, should people really be honoring his rulings???

We need to analyze the ‘so-called’ part closer. It means Robart has something about to be exposed.

Yeah, he's a partisan hack.
