On what grounds? What crime has he committed? Standing up for the rights granted to immigrants and green card and visa holders?

With the waves of tax revenue pot brings in, there is likely to be a nasty argument over it.
No but I believe Washington state legalized weed in violation of federal law. So maybe the judge is a pothead hypocrite, federal judge violating federal law. Maybe he can get him on something like that.
Good they'll be flush with cash to build prisons for all the Washington state residents, thanks to the judge drawing attention on them. Fill the houses with Muslims and implement Sharia law in the prisons.

What do you expect from a "so called" president? I mean really!

How so very "Christian" of you. So you think it's ok to just throw them in jail and turn most of them into hardened career criminals? Rather than housing, feeding, and clothing the poor you'd rather see prisons built?
Depends.
If I take the question in a colloquial sense, then yes, absolutely.
But the truth seems a little more complicated to me.
Lying by politicians might be widespread, but it's not acceptable regardless of that fact. Caution, or even prevarication, is a slightly different tale.
Trump has painted himself into a corner (not that he's likely to care) by characterizing himself as the 'not-politician'. The inherent assumption in that is that politician behaviour is bad. Don't get me wrong, I'm not fan of politicians, but that doesn't mean that everything 'politician-y' should be rejected out of hand, or that acting contrary to how a stereotypical politician would act is automatically 'good'.
A prevarication might be annoying, due to the uselessness of it, but actively answering something off the cuff can be dangerous.
There is some historical support for this idea.
The Brits threw petty thieves in prison hulks, and transported them for stealing bread. From this was created the best looking, most charming, talented and (above all) humble folks in the world; Australians.
Yeah well lib judges always oppose the death penalty, as a result the prisons are full of hardened career criminals. Breeding grounds for more hardened career criminals. Stick that judge right in one of them and all his hippie lib friends.
I hope this isn't the face of Trump's voting pool. Completely ignorant of how government works and filled with silly partisan witch hunts.

I suggest you actually take time to study crime, prisons, jails, the cultures of both, get to know people who have been in them, and learn about what the problems inmates and former inmates face. The death penalty has nothing to do with it (and, btw, there is no evidence to support the idea it decreases crime anyways).
Stick that judge in one and let him study it.
I tried to organise a rational bipartisan witch hunt once, and it failed miserably. Trump seems well aware of this.
So...only criminals know about criminal justice? Interesting perspective.
Is that what I said?
Nope. You merely implied it. Feel free to clarify your position.
Experience is a good teacher, put the judge on a special mission. for oh 10-12 years for pot possession. or perhaps dereliction of duty by allowing Washington state to violate federal laws against weed. He is a federal judge, showing arbitrary enforcement of the law.
How do you deal with the cognitive dissonance behind;
1) Believing that since experience is a good teacher, a judge should go to prison so he'll make better informed decisions.
2) Believing that a President with no political experience is preferable.
"I was in prison and you came to visit me" So it's just as well to send people to visit the prisoners. And give the refugees their houses, food and clothing, while the Washington State residents are living off the taxpayers in prison. Hows that sound?
