Frequent 5-4 Court Rulings Belie Roberts' Argument Justices Are Unbiased

The New York Times writes, "Trump's remarks came after a federal trial judge ordered the administration to resume accepting asylum claims from migrants no matter where or how they entered the United States."

The judge issuing the ruling was Jon S. Tigar, of the U.S. District Court in San Francisco, whom Trump quickly singled out as an "Obama judge."

We do not have Obama judges, or Trump judges, Bush judges, or Clinton judges.

If all judges thought the same, as Roberts seems to suggest, why are there so many 5-4 rulings by the high court?

Conservatives have long complained that liberal judges advance policies that would never get through Congress.

If there are no Trump, Obama, Bush, or Clinton judges, then why the battle over every candidate nominated by a Republican president? Have we already forgotten the recent all-out war mounted by the left against Justice Brett Kavanaugh?

Does the Constitution speak for itself, or does it say only what judges say it says, as the late Chief Justice Charles Evans Hughes contended a century ago?
