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.”
Let me know when it’s in an official ruling or any other way that matters.
'Member when everyone was convinced that SCOTUS was going to overturn Trump’s 2020 election loss?
Trump and his MAGAts can go fuck themselves but pretending that SCOTUS has never bucked them is denying reality.
We’re in a new era now where they’ve given Trump unprecedented power.
The past is past; we’re living in a brave new world now. I never pretended they didn’t rule against him. I’m saying that they won’t in the future because it’ll expose how powerless they are to enforce anything against him, and would also put a target on their own backs.
