What did Donald Trump do today?

He called James Robart, who granted a temporary stay of his immigration ban, a "so-called judge."

Robart was nominated to the US District Court by then-President George W. Bush in 2003. He was confirmed by the Senate in 2004 on a 99-0 vote.

Trump has reacted emotionally to questions about his own legitimacy (legal or otherwise) a number of times since the election.

So what's so bad about this?

• Selectively undermining the authority of judges they don't like is what authoritarians do.
