While everyone else is trying to get off of work early and start their Thanksgiving celebrations, el Trumpo is lighting up feuds on Twitter!!
Now it’s Chuck Grassley tag-teaming Justice Roberts with Trump!! It’s pandemonium!!!
Chief Justice Roberts rebuked Trump for a comment he made abt judge’s decision on asylum I don’t recall the Chief attacking Obama when that Prez rebuked Alito during a State of the Union

Ohhhh dayam!! He’s got Roberts on the ropes!!
Now some were objecting to what he said. Specifically this guy:
This... literally did not happen. Senator Grassley, you are 85 years old and not in command of the facts. Time to step aside.

Grassley has it precisely backward.

Obama criticized the Supreme Court’s decision to allow unlimited dark money in campaigns and Justice Alito disrespected *him* by saying “not true” during the speech. And Justice Roberts *did* criticize Obama afterward. https://t.co/VPr7jIV1mw
I’m not sure that’s exactly right either – Obama castigated the Supreme Court DURING A State of the Union speech, as he looked down upon them from the bully pulpit. All Alito do was whisper “not true” during the speech, and he couldn’t have known it was going to be caught by the cameras. It’s just not comparable.
But he’s got a point – it’s not as if Roberts ignored the slight from Obama against the Supreme Court:
When Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. told law students in Alabama on Tuesday that the timing of Obama’s criticism of the court during the State of the Union address was “very troubling,” the White House pounced. It shot back with a new denouncement of the court’s ruling that allowed a more active campaign role for corporations and unions.
On Wednesday, Senate Democrats followed up with pointed criticism of Roberts, and at a hearing on the decision, a leading Democrat said the American public had “rightfully recoiled” from the ruling.
At this rate, maybe Senator Chuck Grassley’s next tweet will blame Taylor Swift for interrupting Kanye’s award speech instead of the other way around. pic.twitter.com/gIjdxHMBLR
