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.

    Don’t let his noise confuse you.

    Roberts either is on board with this, or Trump is as stupid as he seems.

    As is by design over a couple of centuries. Law Enforcement is commonly assumed to be only a power of the Executive, but that is not true. All courts, including the supreme Court have the authority to enforce judgements and use funds allocated to the court to do it.

    The question is usually do the courts have jurisdiction to do whatever. The whole point of the Chief Justice is that his jurisdiction is not one of the district courts, but the federal district itself.

    This is a constitutional crisis in the aspect that Trump is trying to build support for ending the division of powers. Of course, anyone who knows history will see where this is going, but Roberts knows he is complicit in the outcome, regardless of what happens.
