President Donald Trump tweeted Sunday afternoon that if “something happens” as a result of a federal judge’s decision blocking Trump’s executive order on immigration, the judge and the “court system” will be to blame.
“Just cannot believe a judge would put our country in such peril,” Trump tweeted. “If something happens, blame him and court system.”
On Friday, U.S. District Judge James Robart blocked Trump’s executive order temporarily barring visitors from seven predominantly Muslim countries from entering the United States.
Trump lambasted him on Twitter as a “so-called judge” on Saturday, and continued to tweet criticism of Robart through Sunday morning.
Because the ban was lifted by a judge, many very bad and dangerous people may be pouring into our country. A terrible decision

Why aren’t the lawyers looking at and using the Federal Court decision in Boston, which is at conflict with ridiculous lift ban decision?

The judge opens up our country to potential terrorists and others that do not have our best interests at heart. Bad people are very happy!

I have instructed Homeland Security to check people coming into our country VERY CAREFULLY. The courts are making the job very difficult!

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) broke with Trump in an interview on CNN’s “State of the Union” on Sunday.
“It is best not to single out judges,” McConnell said. “We all get disappointed from time to time. I think it is best to avoid criticizing them individually.”
Sen. Ben Sasse (R-NE) also pushed back on Trump’s comments Sunday morning.
“I’ll be honest, I don’t understand language like that. We don’t have so-called judges. We don’t have so-called senators. We don’t have so-called presidents,” he said. “We have real judges.”
Vice President Mike Pence said in an interview aired Sunday that Robart “certainly” had the right to halt the order.
Instead of the two year vetting process, now we’re going to check them out VERY CAREFULLY.
Much better plan of action.
Shorter HaarFührer: Blame the judge for our upcoming false flag attack(s).

When you call ask about the new Refugee Rate.
This is just fucking crazy. If Obama had made such a statement he would have been impeached within a week. Republicans are totally craven and un-American.
Shorter Trump: Nice country you have there. Shame if something happens to it.
This sorry motherfucker is beyond tiresome. Treasonous, poisonous scumbag.
