Federal judge compares Trump to KKK, says president engaged in 'great - assault on our judiciary' Posted: Apr 12th, 2019 - 6:20 pm
A federal judge delivered a speech Thursday lambasting President Trump’s administration, saying the president has selected judicial nominees that do not represent the diversity of America.
During a speech at the University of Virginia School of Law, Judge Carlton W. Reeves, an Obama appointee, compared the president to the Ku Klux Klan and called his administration a “great assault on our judiciary.”
“When politicians attack courts as ‘dangerous,’ ‘political,’ and guilty of ‘egregious overreach,’ you can hear the Klan’s lawyers, assailing officers of the court across the South,” the judge said.
He noted 90 percent of the president’s picks for the federal bench have been white.
