When Chief Justice John Roberts pompously admonished President Trump last year, making the preposterous claim that we "Do not have Obama or Trump judges," Carlton W. Reeves evidently failed to get the memo.
Judge Reeves has now escalated his activism by attacking the President and comparing him to a long line of white supremacist Democrats and their partners in the KKK. Late last week Reeves visited the University of Virginia to accept the Thomas Jefferson Foundation Medal in Law and used his acceptance speech to launch a thinly veiled attack on President Trump.
President Trump has delivered 93 federal judges so far, including two Supreme Court justices, 37 circuit court judges, 30 of whom were confirmed during his first two years, and 54 district court judges.
President Trump's efforts to return the courts to their proper function of interpreting rather than writing statutes comes none too soon, as Judge Reeves' partisan record demonstrates.
One of these, Barber v. Bryant, landed in Judge Reeves' court, whereupon he issued an injunction blocking the law the day before it was due to take effect.
The judge later makes this charge explicit: "This Administration and a bare majority of the Senate, walking arm-and-arm, are not stumbling unaware towards a homogeneous judiciary." The Model Code of Judicial Conduct, as elucidated by the American Bar Association, is meant to uphold the "Independence, integrity, and impartiality of the judiciary." It's obvious that Judge Reeves falls short in all categories.
They want the courts to command the respect of the American people, and that will never happen while partisans like Judge Reeves remain embedded in the judicial woodwork.
