This President is ignorant and dangerous

Our President wrote this about a federal judge appointed by George W. Bush:  "The opinion of this so-called judge, which essentially takes law-enforcement away from our country, is ridiculous and will be overturned!"  "So-called" and "ridiculous" are clear attempts to undermine the authority of a federal judge.  It is unacceptable behavior from the President of the United States.

As people around the world march in protest of President Trump's Muslim ban, Patrick Leahy, a senior Democratic senator from Vermont, called Trump’s comments "embarrassing" and "dangerous".  He also said, "he seems intent on precipitating a Constitutional crisis," adding that the judge was under attack merely for "having the audacity to do his job".

Update:  I guess the judge wasn't "ridiculous" after all, since another federal judge agreed with him.  I can't say that I'm surprised.
