Here is Justice Robert's comments:

A kind of a Pollyanna view, but is it true?
I know Ruth Bader Ginsburg isn't a Trump judge. So there's that. :rolleyes:

Judges are almost as touchy as the Press when it comes to criticism.

Trump “trumped” the justice by mentioning the 9th Circuit Court. Doesn’t get any more political than that. They may as well be pundits for CNN.

If Justice Roberts wants to criticize the politicization of the judiciary, he needs to start with putting a muzzle on the Notorious RBG .

Roberts sat on his hands while Obama chastised the Conservative Justices during the SOTU, and has kept his mouth zipped while Notorious went on a Trash Trump Tour.
But Trump speaks out about the 9th and Roberts says that criticism can't stand man.

From George Conway? Interesting? Well, sure, in a Hillary Clinton's hair dresser's opinion kind of way. The only reason he gets any press at all is because of who he is married to. If he suddenly started supporting Trump, he'd instantly disappear from the pages of the MSM.

Trump talked specifically abut the 9th Circuit, and how they are most often reversed, and Conway literally created a red herring by citing a different statistic based on different parameters. Conway stated, "All these statistics tell us is that one major factor in the Supreme Court’s selection of which cases to review is whether they may have been wrongly decided:" Yet he failed to point out that out of all of the courts it chooses, fully 20 percent of them are out of a single Circuit Court. So even by its selection of cases, the Supreme Court is acknowledging that the 9th Circuit gets it wrong, a lot.

If you take a close look at the nation’s 13 appellate courts, and which cases they have overturned, since 2010 it's the 9th Circuit that is most often overturn because they applied political ideology to their rulings rather than a failed agnostic interpretation of constitutional law.

This could all be true, however, just the dynamics of who he is married to makes it interesting, imo.

now he threatens GM because you know he knows more bout making cars...and the beat goes on...
Not that this has anything to do with Justice Roberts, but no, Trump didn't threaten GM because he knows more about making cars than they do. He threatened GM because GM took a government bailout to stay in business, and they are getting a government subsidy to build electric cars, and to show their thanks for that, when given a choice between closing plants in China, Mexico or the US, they chose to close plants in the US. Trump figures if GM wants to choose China and Mexico over the US for their electric car production, then GM can get their subsidies from China and Mexico. He's not going to continue to reward them for that crap.

And GM is all like, "Weeeell, those people in Detroit and Lordstown, they can get jobs at other GM plants in, like, you know, Texas, and Mexico."

Evidently, GM believes the best plan for sales in America is stab America in the back.

No, their fault is in not closing their plants in China or Mexico after getting subsidies here.

If they were shifting production to those overseas plants that would be one thing but they are ending production of the cars that they are building there. What are they supposed to do have everyone stand around and pay them for nothing?

There is still hope for a few of those plants they might get a new vehicle to build.

Or gas goes back up to $4 a gallon and people start buying cruzes again.
