Stelter Misleads Viewers, Pretends Trump Wants to Abolish Judiciary
By Bill D'Agostino | April 7, 2019 1:08 PM EDT

CNN’s Brian Stelter tried his darnedest to frighten viewers on Sunday by falsely implying that the President wanted to abolish one of the three fundamental branches of American government. The Reliable Sources host played two out-of-context clips of the President saying “we have to get rid of judges,” — but at no point did he explain that the President clearly had been referring specifically to immigration judges, and not to the judicial branch appointees that generally spring to mind when one hears the term “judge.”

One of the two clips was from a Friday press spray, in which the President said the following about reforming America’s immigration system: “Now, Congress has to act. They have to get rid of catch and release, chain migration, visa lottery. They have to get rid of the whole asylum system because it doesn’t work. And, frankly, we should get rid of judges.”

Brian is a lying sack of cat poop.

For many, we are the greatest ever, which is embarrassingly laughable.
Monarchy was the prevailing form of Governance/Rule for Mankind,
during almost 90% of the time from the Fertile Crescent to the present,
w/the exception of the Greek City/States and pre-Imperial Rome.
As representative governance emerged in Europe, it's power was executive
and legislative w/the judicial function being an appendage, and this largely
remains the latter's status at the present time.
Our Founders affirmed representative governance "Of, By and For the People"
and yet we have allowed our un-elected judicial institutions to wield essentially
veto power over those elected to represent the will of the people.
And so we are the greatest what?????
