President Donald Trump sparked a fierce national debate over judicial independence on Wednesday after telling a cheering audience in Las Vegas, Nevada that he would dismiss the Supreme Court's liberal members if he possessed the constitutional authority.
Speaking before thousands of supporters at the Red Rock Casino Resort Spa during an economic policy address ahead of the upcoming midterm elections, the President criticised the ideological cohesion of the bench's left-leaning bloc while contrasting it with the independent voting habits of conservative appointees.
