Barr's curious comments about judges

It was interesting to read William Barr's comments regarding federal judges and some of their rulings in cases where Trump's commands were blocked. He took umbrage at the fact that a single judge could block the president's policies.

I guess it never occurred to Mr. Barr that the president could have proposed policies that addressed the concerns of all Americans. And it didn't seem to occur to Mr. Barr that he took it upon himself to shape public opinion regarding the Mueller investigation without even a second thought as to what it would do to the public's confidence in the judiciary system.

Mr. Barr should just accept the fact that once all the arguments were made in the cases, the "baby" then belonged to the judges. It was heartening, though, to see that Mr. Barr is very intelligent when he figured out that the 37 blocked attempts since Trump took office were more than one a month.
