Judges: Trump is a threat to rule of law

A panel of four retired judges and legal scholars on Thursday decried President Donald Trump‘s “contempt” for the nation’s judiciary, describing the Trump administration’s attacks on federal judges as “very dangerous.”

The event, titled “An Unprecedented Attack: Federal Judges Threatened with Impeachment for Blocking Executive Power,” was held by the legal advocacy group Speak Up for Justice. The panel discussion came on the heels of Trump’s high-profile remarks on the Supreme Court, after it voted 6-3 to overturn the president’s tariff policy last Friday. He called the majority a “disgrace to our nation” and “very unpatriotic and disloyal to the Constitution.”
