*WASHINGTON - US Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts has hit out against US President Donald Trump.*
*He issued an extraordinary rebuke of Donald Trump on Wednesday after the president criticized a ruling he said was handed down by an “Obama judge.”*
“We do not have Obama judges or Trump judges, Bush judges or Clinton judges,” Roberts said in a statement to the Associated Press.
“What we have is an extraordinary group of dedicated judges doing their level best to do equal right to those appearing before them,” Roberts said.
“That independent judiciary is something we should all be thankful for,” the chief justice added in the brief statement released on the eve of the Thanksgiving holiday.
