    Disagree with #Gorsuch. .@realDonaldTrump has every right to criticize federal judges, who are unelected and serve for life.

        the only reason he said that was to cast aspersion on any senator who might criticize him.

        @peddoc63 @realDonaldTrump As judges wade into politics then they legitimate targets for criticism.

        "criticize" and "attack" are different. "I disagree with conclusion" is one thing. "He is biased because he is __" is another.

        Right, and in the travel ban, Trump questioned the legitimacy of a judge; not his decision.

        Criticism is not the same as delegitimization.

        But at what point does Trump's criticisms border on obstruction of justice when in connection with specific cases?

        Are you making a distinction btw criticize​ and disparage/delegitimize? If so I agree, but pls make that clear.
