Trump Rips Supreme Court: Conservative Justices Want To Show Everybody How They’re “So Honorable”
President Trump criticized Republican-appointed Supreme Court justices for not voting as consistently together as the Court’s three liberal justices in an interview with CNBC’s Joe Kernen.
KERNEN: But practically, how do we get there on SAVE America? What would you like Majority Leader Thune to – PRESIDENT TRUMP: Well, I would like them to get it passed. What I’d really like is for them to – KERNEN: Filibuster. PRESIDENT TRUMP: Kill the filibuster. Terminate the filibuster. When they terminate the filibuster, then they’ll immediately prove – approve the SAVE America, and 100 other things. You could sit down all day long and just vote, and you’d have it. And the sad part is, we probably have five or six senators that won’t vote for it, Republican senators and all of the Democrats. So their policy is no good the Democrats. I call them the Democrats, because their policies are so bad. But, the one thing they – unfortunately they stick together. They don’t have – KERNEN: Well, we’ll see – PRESIDENT TRUMP: And Mitch McConnell. KERNEN: We will see. The Democratic party’s got their own issues right now. We will talk about that a little later, too. PRESIDENT TRUMP: They do, but it is a different kind of issue. When they vote on something – KERNEN: Yeah. Oh they – like the – PRESIDENT TRUMP: Look at the Supreme Court justices. The three Supreme Court justices, every vote it’s for or against, it’s 100%. I don’t think they had any dissension. Where’s our people? Yeah, no. It’s almost – and I’ve said it – Republicans want to show everybody how they’re not controlled, how they’re so honorable, whereas the Democrat justices and judges, by the way, and judges – they get up, Barack Hussein Obama appointed me, and I’m voting for him. Republicans don’t do that. And I’m amazed. I’m not saying it has to be a loyalty test, but it’s much different. The three justices vote as a bloc. I think I can remember one time, but very, very seldom do they not vote as a bloc. Whereas our people, and we have six, but they move around a little bit, and they – for instance, birthright citizenship. I should have won that. That wasn’t meant for billionaires from China bringing a child over, becoming an American citizen, and far worse than that, much worse than that. KERNEN: The last word is not out on that either.
