Roberts made the comments during high-level talks on March 11 at the Judicial Conference of the United State, a 27-member national policymaking body for the federal courts, according to a memorandum obtained by The Federalist, a conservative online publication.
Note that The Federalist titled the same story, “Memo Reveals D.C. Judges Are Predisposed Against Trump Administration”.
I linked to The Daily Beast instead of The Federalist because I found the language more netral. A reader may disagree, but I consider the latter to have more loaded language and strained logic, such as this bit on the post hoc ruling that Boasberg’s order to bring back the planes was ignoring the law when he so ruled even though it wasn’t ‘law’ until later deemed invalid (because the order should have come from a Texas judge).
And what is both troubling and ironic is that only a few days later, Judge Boasberg, in a case in which he completely lacked jurisdiction, as the Supreme Court would later confirm, entered a lawless order commanding the Trump Administration to halt removals to El Salvador. So, one of the judges concerned about Trump following the law, ignored the law. Nonetheless, Judge Boasberg would later find “the Trump Administration committed criminal contempt of court” by failing to turn the planes around or fly the gang members back to the U.S., even though the court’s written (and unlawful) injunction ordered neither.
That chunk in particular made me feel that those judges worried about Trump overreach were validated by the deportations rather than being biased against the President.
