Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts rejects President Trump’s call for impeaching a judge who ruled against his deportation plans
“For more than two centuries, it has been established that impeachment is not an appropriate response to disagreement concerning a judicial decision,” Roberts said in a rare statement.
Summary
Chief Justice John Roberts issued a rare statement rejecting Trump's call to impeach U.S. District Judge James Boasberg, who ruled against Trump's deportation plans.
Roberts declared "impeachment is not an appropriate response to disagreement concerning a judicial decision."
Trump had labeled Boasberg a "troublemaker and agitator" on social media after the judge blocked deportation flights under the Alien Enemies Act of 1798.
The conflict escalated after the administration allegedly ignored Boasberg's verbal order to return deportation flights. Legal experts called Trump's demand "a direct threat to judicial independence."

Wow Roberts still does have a little bit of his spine left and managed to find it? Or is this just a platitude and he'll continue to enable the fascist?
