I'm going to try to explain what's going on in America right now by drawing a connection between two news stories. On the surface, they don't seem to have much to do with each other, but when you really think about them, it's obvious that there's a common thread.
The first story comes from way back in November of 2018, when President Trump complained about an "Obama judge" on the Ninth Circuit ruling against his asylum policy. Trump's comments angered Chief Justice John Roberts of the Supreme Court, who gave a speech saying:
We do not have Obama judges or Trump judges, Bush judges or Clinton judges. What we have is an extraordinary group of dedicated judges doing their level best to do equal right to those appearing before them. That independent judiciary is something we should all be thankful for.
Trump responded by tweeting: "Sorry Chief Justice John Roberts, but you do indeed have 'Obama judges,' and they have a much different point of view than the people who are charged with the safety of our country...." For the Deep State and its sympathizers, Roberts's statement was a dignified and erudite defense of the institutions of liberal democracy, while Trump's tweet was a crass attack on said institutions. Ordinary Americans, who aren't emotionally invested in keeping up the illusion that all is well on the banks of the Potomac, saw something different. They saw John Roberts telling a lie and Donald Trump telling the truth.
My Take -Was Roberts lying, or was he merely being naive? He was lying. How do I know? Because he's at the center of what's going on in the federal judiciary, and the most casual observer has to see judges appointed by Obama and his ilk are clearly making up laws as they go along according to their whims and personal preferences. Only a deaf blind man would miss that. The General Flynn case is a blatant example of that kind of corruption by D.C. District Court Judge Emmet Sullivan, and the insane 9th Circuit which was transformed by Jimmy Carter. Did he somehow miss all of that? No, he didn't miss it, he ignored it in order to tell his lie, and probably justify some of his ridiculous rulings.
