WMU-Cooley Constitutional law professor reacts to President Trump’s attack on U.S. Supreme Court Justices Ginsburg and Sotomayor
On Tuesday, Feb. 25, Western Michigan University Cooley Law School Constitutional Law Professor Devin Schindler released a statement regarding President Donald Trump attacking U.S. Supreme Court Justices Sonia Sotomayor and Ruth Bader Ginsburg on Twitter, saying “they should recuse themselves from ‘Trump-related’ cases,” as reported by the Washington Post on that day (in an article entitled “Trump slams Sotomayor and Ginsburg, says they should recuse themselves from ‘Trump-related’ cases”).
According to the Post, the president went after Sotomayor and Ginsburg in a pair of tweets and at a news conference in India on Tuesday, days after Sotomayor issued a dissent critical of the Trump administration’s legal strategy and the court’s majority for enabling it.
WMU-Cooley Professor Devin Schindler, a former partner with Warner Norcross + Judd who has appeared three times in front of the Michigan Supreme Court, and who has been interviewed hundreds of times on healthcare and Constitutional issues by radio, television, print and internet media sources, issued the following comment:
“President Trump’s continued impertinent attacks on federal Judges again highlights the importance of judicial independence. The founders created an independent judiciary as a check on the potential despotism of the political branches. These continued attacks undermine the very foundation of our polity.”
