“There’s no such thing as an ‘Obama judge.’” -John Roberts
(Umm?)

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.

Well,SOMEBODY needs to do it. Nobody elects these bastards,and there seems to be no control whatsoever of what they do or the laws they nullify or create by fiat.

I have a dream of living in a nation where judicial picks will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.

On the mark.
The only trait that got this flunky his job, was the tint of his skin.
Our greatest, among them Jefferson, Madison and Monroe had
undisguised contempt for pompous judicial assholery and justifiably so.
Consider; Ancient Greece and Rome created Western Civilization and
their judicial institutions played no role of consequence. None!
