Rep. Chris Collins (R-N.Y.) on Wednesday said President Trump is "certainly going to clean up" the Supreme Court, one day after a district judge blocked Trump's executive order on sanctuary cities.

“You do have an activist court, and I think President Trump over the next four to eight years is certainly going to clean that up,” Collins said on CNN’s “New Day.”

He said Trump will “appoint justices like Neil Gorsuch who believe in the Constitution and are not going to be making activist rulings from the bench as we’ve seen in the 9th Circuit."

Trump early Wednesday blamed the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals for the Tuesday injunction against his executive order that would take funds away from sanctuary cities. The injunction actually came from a California-based district judge, however.

First the Ninth Circuit rules against the ban & now it hits again on sanctuary cities-both ridiculous rulings. See you in the Supreme Court! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) April 26, 2017

The 9th Circuit earlier this year upheld a block on Trump's travel ban order, drawing the ire of the White House.

“The overreach of that 9th Circuit is really confirming what many of us have been talking about for a long time,” Collins said.
