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.”
Or what? Andrew Jackson exposed how toothless the SCOTUS really is, and nothing about that has changed since.
Ive been telling people that Trump will pull an Andrew Jackson because in reality the judicial branch of the government has NO enforcement mechanism for their rulings.
They have to hope the executive branch will play by the rules and follow their rulings.
Roberts and his justices gave Trump even more unchecked power when they rule the president cannot be tried for official acts (leaving only impeachment as a means of punishment).
He must not be any sort of history buff because he would know the power of the judicial system is stripped away and becomes a superficial system that is used to punish those in the “out” group when a state turns to fascism or a dictatorship.
Roberts is truly a dipshit and a clown.
Yes, that was my point.
