Trump Appointed Judge Reminds Him That He Is Not The King [View all]

"Although some tension between the coordinate branches of government is a hallmark of our constitutional system, this concerted effort by the Executive to smear and impugn individual judges who rule against it is both unprecedented and unfortunate." United States District Court Judge Thomas Cullen, a Trump appointee.

Trump appointed Judge Cullen made this statement while dismissing an unprecedented Trump lawsuit against all 14 federal judges in the United States District of Maryland. With those judges recused from ruling in their own lawsuit the 4th Circuit assigned the case to Judge Cullen in the Western District of Virginia. You can read the decision HERE.

Judge Cullen rejected Trump's suit on four independent legal grounds.

-The court lacks standing as there is common law remedy allowing one judge to enjoin another judge.
