The eminent justices will recuse themselves right after Donny boots his daughter and son-in-law from the admin, stops constantly using his own properties, and completely steps away from his businesses whilst POTUS. Put another way, when Donny stops blatantly using the presidency to fill his own pockets.

Trump is such a bonehead. Who does he think he is telling 2 supreme court justices about how to do their jobs?

He's right.
Shouldn't Ruth be retiring soon anyway? The woman is nearly 87 years old.

Why should he? They're competent and he can trust them. He's been betrayed by others, including Obama hold-overs.
It won’t be long before the Donny fan bois are along to tell us that these uber professional women are biased simply because they are liberal. Remember, fan bois, if these two are biased simply because they are liberal, the conservative hacks on the court are also biased because they are conservative.
You must have missed this:
Sotomayor questioned why the court, whose 5-4 conservative majority includes two justices appointed by Trump, so frequently grants emergency requests filed by his administration. Trump also cited Ginsburg's criticism of him during the 2016 presidential race.
And the conservatives on the Supreme Court are conservative but they're not hacks. Look up the meaning of hack. Jeez...

He thinks he's the president of the United States. And he is. And will be for another 4 years and 10 months, so he'll be appointing more conservative Supreme Court justices. Yessssssss!

Hahahahahahaha!
Let’s keep the conspiracy theories to ourselves before 8:30, mmmmkay?
It’s a very legitimate question given it’s outside the norm.
You seem to think we should punish people for exercising their first amendment right to free speech.
Unlike Donny’s fan bois, I know what words mean and don’t throw them around without thinking. Thanks for playing. Try again.

Here’s evidence that the conservatives on the court are hacks:
The court grants way too many emergency requests filed by Donny’s administration compared to previous administrations.

We have many more emergencies caused by the Democrats.
You're cheering the death of RBG. Foul.
She's not dead yet. Jeez. I'm hoping she gracefully retires instead of falling over dead in her office.

Hmmm....Liberals have a very short memory when DT was back in 2016 Supreme Court Justice RBG said this about Trump: Asked what if Trump won the presidency, Ginsburg said: "I don't want to think about that possibility, but if it should be, then everything is up for grabs."
"I can’t imagine what this place would be — I can’t imagine what the country would be — with Donald Trump as our president. For the country, it could be four years. For the court, it could be — I don’t even want to contemplate that.
"He is a faker. He has no consistency about him. He says whatever comes into his head at the moment. He really has an ego. ... How has he gotten away with not turning over his tax returns? The press seems to be very gentle with him on that ….
"At first I thought it was funny," she said of Trump's early candidacy. "To think that there's a possibility that he could be president ….
There was no outrage made about her comments, she was way out of line with them as a SC Justice as someone who’s allegedly supposed to be neutral. She should have been called out then, but wasn’t and as usual the msm gives one of their own a pass. Liberals have no room to talk because they got caught once again with their pants down.

Sweet deflection. Absolutely irrelevant though. HAR!
Sure.
Chip Star
Her comments sounded like yours when you were saying Donny was part of a lunatic fringe and a socialist.
It’s very telling that you think conservatives should be able to mouth off in ways that demonstrate their utter bias, but screech when liberals state facts that cut against Donny.

A high school- no, middle school- student in the US could tell you about the concept of separation of powers in the constitution and why Trump's actions are a terrible idea. But no need to worry folks, since conservatives are so concerned about the constitution (they certainly love talking about it), surely they'll be speaking up about the need for an independent judicial branch, right? No?
bass4funk
But you have nothing to say when liberals or when a liberal Justice mouths off, that’s now 2 liberal Justices that made that kind of outlandish statement. Imagine if Thomas, Gorsuch, Kavanaugh or Roberts we’re to make comments like that about any liberal candidate or politician, we all know liberals would go nuts asking for them to step down, we all know it.

Stop doing national injunctions to block presidential policy. This has been done to Trump on nearly every issue. When did this judge ever vote against what Obama wanted? Ever?
bass4funk
And Trump was equally right to shut her up and call her out on her partisan comments.
Blacklabel
It is without a doubt inappropriate for a supreme court justice to speak out publicly in a partisan manner. That’s basic.
Concerned Citizen
There really shouldn't be liberal or conservative judges, only those who interpret the law and the Constitution as they are written.
Jimizo
I can’t believe he got away with that with own supporters. He said he’d release them.
They must be toxic.
Busby
Trump, and his supporters only have ability to judge other people based on their own lack of morals and integrity. So naturally they automatically assume everyone has their same faults and deficits.
They have no comprehension of professionalism and duty. Just look at how they disparage and insult our military heroes.
So its understandable that they would think that any judge or anyone with integrity can't separate personal feelings from professional judgment. Trump supporters certainly can't...it doesn't work that way in a cult.
In addition, it helps to further define their simple to understand binary world - us vs them. You can be a life-long Republican; like Comey, Mueller, McCabe, Romney - but you're the enemy since you don't bow to the rules of the cult - which is absolute fealty to the Supreme Leader - The Great Orange Monarch...
Blacklabel
None of what any of you said relates to a Supreme Court justice publicly making partisan statements negative to the President of the USA and disparaging the conservatives on the court. It’s wrong.

Like raising the debt or healthcare costs? That's great Trump policy.
Blacklabel
Nope like not allowing immigrants into our country who are broke and will increase our healthcare costs and our debt.
that is what this injunction from liberal activist judge wanted to allow. so actually the Trump policy is protecting our costs and debts for our citizens.
Blacklabel
Called General Kelly a lying racist when it suited them.
SuperLib
Nah.
Serrano
All right, everyone, back on topic. The topic is trump saying Ginsberg and Sotomayor should recuse themselves from cases involving him, which makes sense considering their statements and actions.
Roger Stone is mentioned in the article. He should have a new trial since the judge presiding over his case, Amy Berman Jackson, has totally screwed him over, but he won't get one. Trump's probably going to end up having to pardon him.
nishikat
Like when he's trying to get rid of ObamaCare (that the Republicans invented)? Look at the result of TrumpCare. It's burning people.
OK, TrumpCare involves Trump and the results are bad.
lincolnman
Tomorrow it will be all those that aren't orange should recuse themselves from any cases involving him or his administration...
After that, the only judges allowed are Manafort, Stone, Flynn, and Crazy Rudy...
This Loser has no understanding of the Constitution - not surprising for someone with the understanding of a fifth grader...
