SHOT: [Democrat Operative] Stephanopoulos to Pence: ‘Is It Appropriate’ for Trump to Attack Legitimacy of Judge Who Blocked Travel Ban?
In response to the temporary block on his travel ban, Trump has been blasting Seattle District Judge James Robart while referring to him as a “so-called judge.” George Stephanopoulos spoke to Pence about this, asking “is it appropriate” for Trump to question the legitimacy of a federal judge.
Pence defended the legality and the purpose of the executive order, but Stephanopoulos went in further by asking if Trump’s comments “undermine the separation of powers in the Constitution?”
CHASER: Obama attacks Supreme Court on national TV during State of the Union during State of the Union Address
“it’s time to put strict limits on the contributions that lobbyists give to candidates for federal office. Last week the Supreme Court reversed a century of law that I believe will open the floodgates for special interests –- including foreign corporations –- to spend without limit in our elections. Well I don’t think American elections should be bankrolled by America’s most powerful interests, and worse, by foreign entities. They should be decided by the American people, and that’s why I’m urging Democrats and Republicans to pass a bill that helps to right this wrong.”
Oh, so when a DEMOCRAT does it, it’s OK? Was “it appropriate” for Obama to attack the legitimacy of federal judges, dear Stephie??
