Summary
Trump intensified his criticism of judges, targeting U.S. Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts and Judge James Boasberg, accusing them of undermining his authority by blocking mass deportation plans.
Trump labeled judges opposing his actions as “Radical Left” and called for Boasberg’s impeachment after Boasberg blocked deportations under the 1798 Enemy Aliens Act.
Chief Justice Roberts countered, stating impeachment is not a remedy for judicial disagreements.
Trump’s rhetoric has raised concerns about increasing threats against judges amid ongoing legal disputes over his policies.

Even Roberts voted Trump should be immune from all crimes he commits. Don’t get your hopes up on this.
The best we can hope for, under the circumstances, is that Roberts comes to deeply regret that decision, as Trump turns on him.
If Roberts decides trump is on track to put Roberts in a prison cell or work camp, Roberts make express some self preservation before he would no longer have the power to, and actually rule on the side of democracy finally fulfilling his role as a check on power of the Executive Branch. Thats the hope.
5-4 instead of 6-3.
They have demonstrated they will overturn themselves based on how they are feeling that day, so I wouldn’t rely on getting the same judgement if a similar case comes up and they are pissed at the defendant.
Yeah but they voted 5-4 to release foreign aid on March 4th. Threatening the courts may work, or it may backfire and the court actually defend each other by ruling by the law.
“These Judges want to assume the Powers of the Presidency, without having to attain 80 Million Votes. They want all of the advantages with none of the risks. Again, a President has to be allowed to act quickly and decisively about such matters as returning murderers, drug lords, rapists, and other such type criminals back to their Homeland, or to other locations that will allow our Country to be SAFE,” Trump said on Truth Social.
Problem is your only “evidence” that the people you are deporting are “murderers, drug lords, rapists, and other such type criminals” is tattoos and a lack of a criminal record.
Robert’s enjoying the FO phase
Not until he actually faces some consequences. Otherwise it’s just hot air from the king of all gas bags.
Judges need to fucking do something already. This is beyond out of control.
Judges are political appointees so they deliver a political ruling. Everyone is acting shocked. They’ve been doing this shit for decades. The only difference is that they’ve turned it up a couple of notches.
Didn’t Justice Samuel Alito fly an upside-down flag outside their home in 2021? He blamed his wife, but it was a clear MAGA bat signal, if there ever was one.
You don’t have to have political parties pick your preferred brand of justice. Shocking as that might sound, most other western democracies don’t do it.
You cannot undermine the authority of an authoritarian leader. There is only one branch in Trump’s government.
You created this monster Roberts. I look forward to your impeachment. Or, more likely, to your acquiescence…
He’ll fold like a beach chair. Rather than be humiliated by having their rulings ignored, they’ll just agree with the Republicans on everything.
Take the mic away from this lunatic. Never let trump near a mic again. Just shut the fuck up! Enough of this nonsense. Aren’t his adult diapers the whole time full?
Sorry, it overcame me for a second there
Was nice knowing ya. You’ll post from El Salvador or Guantanamo? /s
I hope that this would put a few conservative judges into self-preservation and create solidarity with their colleagues, and get them to vote with the liberals on the important issues.
Trump is exactly stupid enough to bite the hand that feeds him.
