From the Daily Caller: A Reagan-appointed federal judge called President Donald Trump an “authoritarian” during a hearing on Thursday.
U.S. District Judge William Young, who is overseeing a case challenging the administration’s attempts to deport pro-Palestine protesters on college campuses, indicated he would issue a ruling restricting the government’s efforts, according to Reuters.
The administration’s efforts came in response to at times violent protests that erupted on college campuses after Hamas’ deadly Oct. 7, 2023 attack on Israel, which left over 1,200 people dead.
“We cast around the word ‘authoritarian,’” Young said, per Reuters. “I don’t, in this context, treat that in a pejorative sense, and I use it carefully, but it’s fairly clear that this president believes, as an authoritarian, that when he speaks, everyone, everyone in Article II is going to toe the line absolutely.”
Young was nominated to the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts in 1985 by President Ronald Reagan.
However, Article III Project founder Mike Davis pointed out last year that Young was a “liberal judge,” picked by Democrat Senators Ted Kennedy and John Kerry.
This Massachusetts liberal judge was picked by Senators Ted Kennedy and John Kerry in 1985.
And Judge William Young strategically semi-retired in 2021 to let President Biden replace him.
He is clearly incapable of being objective, as evidenced by the most bizarre opinion ever: https://t.co/wX5fbv5iMh pic.twitter.com/KQ0bg9dziV
