One appeals court judge said the administration treated some illegal immigrant deportees worse than the U.S. treated Nazis. A district judge scorned the president for acting like a “king” or “dictator.” Still other judges have accused the president and his team of racism and “animus” toward transgender persons.
The lectures come as the judges attempt to bat down Mr. Trump’s expansive agenda early in his second term.
He’s given it right back, calling for one judge to be impeached, asking that another be booted from hearing his cases and filing an ethics complaint against a third judge.
Josh Blackman, a professor at South Texas College of Law, said it’s become a terrible cycle where Mr. Trump’s zealous rhetoric prods judges to overreact.
“And in turn, when judges overreact, Trump amps up his rhetoric,” Mr. Blackman said.
He said judges, the branch of government set above the political fray, must do better.
“Judges should resist the temptation and stay in their lane. Lecturing Trump is not an effective use of the judicial power,” Mr. Blackman said.
