Summary
Chief Justice John Roberts issued a rare rebuke after Trump called for impeaching judges who ruled against him.
Roberts defended judicial independence, but critics argue his court’s rulings have shielded Trump from accountability, enabling his authoritarian tendencies.
Trump ignored a federal court order blocking migrant deportations, prompting legal scrutiny. Judges facing threats highlight growing concerns over the judiciary’s role in checking executive power.
With a conservative Supreme Court majority, questions remain over whether Roberts will continue enabling Trump’s power or push back against further erosion of judicial authority.
Republicans are all about theatrics and gotcha moments. I feel this is another of those. Remember the McConnell/Trump rivalry? Political Theater. Remember Bush (W. Bush)/Trump rivalry? Political Theater. This is going to be one of them.
And the most disgusting and blatant display of it is Trump/Vance vs Zelinsky. Not just political theater but political 2nd graders doing Death of a Salesman.
