Even though Chuckie Schumer says that his tweets will be used against the confirmation of Judge Gorsuch, Trump decided to give him more ammo and tossed some more critiques:
What is our country coming to when a judge can halt a Homeland Security travel ban and anyone, even with bad intentions, can come into U.S.?

Because the ban was lifted by a judge, many very bad and dangerous people may be pouring into our country. A terrible decision

Earlier he had bashed the “so-called” judge, making some wonder if he’s going to ignore the judiciary as president.

I understand that Trump is upset that judges can have the power to overcome his orders, but maybe that’s why he needs to make sure they’re not rolled out abruptly with little input from experts. If he is, as he said, the “law and order” candidate, then he needs to respect the process, argue for his case in court, and assent to the law of the land. This seems to me a sign that he intends to do the opposite.
