EXCERPT:
BENNETT: "He is certainly right, but Roberts really picked this fight. The President has talked about the Ninth Circuit and liberal judges, there's no question about it. If you have eyes you can see that if you read their opinions. But this is not unprecedented either. Donald Trump puts himself here in the legacy of Abraham Lincoln who had a fierce debate with the chief justice of the Supreme Court, Roger B. Taney in the Dred Scott decision and in the case of habeas corpus in the Civil War. So this is a fight that John Roberts didn’t want to pick. By the way, when he talks about the independence of the judiciary, I wonder if he tapped Ruth Bader Ginsburg on the wrists when she was criticizing candidate Trump and saying he was a fake and a phony because that is not really above the fray, is it?"
