""I appointed the judge and he goes like that - I wasn't served well," Trump told reporters Sunday, lashing out at U.S. District Judge Karin Immergut of Portland after she temporarily blocked the deployment federalized troops."
""To have a judge like that, that judge ought to be ashamed of himself," Trump said, referring to Immergut, who is a woman."
""The fact that a pretty conservative judge ruled the way she did is an indication that some conservative judges would rule similarly," said Ilya Somin, a law professor at George Mason University and a constitutional scholar at the Cato Institute."
""The president has long railed against judges who rule against him, calling them \"monsters,\" \"deranged,\" and \"radical\" at various points in the past.""
President Trump is increasingly clashing with the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals despite reshaping the bench with his appointees. The president criticized U.S. District Judge Karin Immergut after she temporarily blocked deployment of federalized National Guard troops, calling the judge ashamed and saying he was not served well. The president has a history of attacking judges who rule against him, using epithets and criticizing even conservative jurists such as Chief Justice John Roberts. The tensions could escalate as the 9th Circuit considers multiple challenges to the use of federalized troops in U.S. cities.
