Trump Lashes Out at Judges Hearing Lawsuit over Muslim Ban
----------------------------------------------------------

President Trump lashed out at the appeals court judges who are presiding
over the lawsuit challenging his executive order banning people from
seven majority-Muslim nations from entering the United States.

President Donald Trump: "If you were a good student in high school or a
bad student in high school, you can understand this. And it's really
incredible to me that we have a court case that's going on so long. And
it couldn't have been written any more precisely. It's not like, 'Oh,
gee, we wish it were written better.' It was written beautifully."

That's President Trump, speaking in Washington, D.C., Wednesday to a
conference of law enforcement officials. During his comments, he also
called the deliberations "disgraceful." Trump's attack comes after he
went on a Twitter rant over the weekend against federal Judge James
Robart, calling him a "so-called judge" after Robart issued a nationwide
injunction halting Trump's Muslim ban.
