Chuck Grassley makes up history to try to call Justice John Roberts hypocritical - Polidicks

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/sen-chuck-grassley-has-some-thoughts-about-trumps-attacks-on-federal-judges/ar-BBPYkdZ?li=BBnb7Kx Republican Sen. Chuck Grassley of Iowa said he had reservations about Chief Justice John Roberts' response to President Donald Trump's controversial characterization of a federal judge and the 9th District court, and suggested it was a hypocritical move based on Roberts' previous interactions with Trump's predecessor. "Chief Justice Roberts rebuked Trump for a comment he made [about a] judge's decision on asylum," Grassley said in a tweet on Wednesday. "I don't recall the Chief attacking Obama when that Prez rebuked Alito during a State of the Union." Grassley, the Judiciary Committee Chairman, appeared to be referencing a State of the Union address Obama gave in 2010, where Obama criticized the Supreme Court's 5-4 decision in Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission. The decision overturned a previous ruling that blocked corporations and unions from funding political campaigns without limits. But Obama did not single out Justice Samuel Alito during that tate of the Union address. Obama was addressing the Supreme Court broadly, without mentioning any names. "With all due deference to separation of powers, last week the Supreme Court reversed a century of law that I believe will open the floodgates for special interests - including foreign corporations - to spend without limit in our elections," Obama said at the time. Alito had a visceral reaction to Obama's remarks during the speech, which were captured on video. He can be seen shaking his head and mouthing some words as Obama commented on the court's decision. Alito voted in favor of the ruling, and also joined concurring opinions from Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Antonin Scalia. Grassley's quip comes amid a terse back-and-forth between Trump and the federal judiciary. On Monday, a federal judge from the Northern District of California stopped Trump's move to curb the number of asylum-seeking migrants who cross the US-Mexico border at ports of entry. The following day, Trump described the judge as "an Obama judge" and railed against the US Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit, the appellate jurisdiction for the Northern District of Roberts responded to Trump's comments on Wednesday by suggesting the federal judiciary remained free of political biases.

Can't believe John Roberts was a Democrat all along

Whataboutism and tu quo quo is standard politics now. If Obama criticized Alito as a "Bush judge" he'd have been universally condemned.

I'm sure making shit up to attack Roberts, and thus the integrity of the SCOTUS, is totally going to convince him to toe the line, lol. Definitely couldn't possibly backfire or anything when Roberts, despite some shit decisions in the past, has made it clear that he does value the integrity of the SCOTUS and that rbanch of the government is currently being blatantly attacked by the two other branches of our government trying to subvert our democracy.

What was wrong with the article's original title?

Whats wrong with the edited title?

"Chuck Grassley has some thoughts about Trump's attacks on federal judges" isn't descriptive enough in my opinion.

What a fucking terrifying time when the GOP is turning on their own bought judges.

Even worse is that Grassley is fucking old, he's been in Congress forever and he's sounding just as Trumpy as Graham and the rest.

I think the new title is just as true and more descriptive. What's wrong with the title of the thread?
