John Roberts issues rare statement to say attacks on judicial branch of government are not ‘appropriate’
Chief Justice John Roberts publicly criticized President Trump's threat to impeach federal judges, calling it an inappropriate response to disagreements over their rulings. This rebuke followed Trump's attack on a judge who blocked deportations of alleged gang members, with Roberts emphasizing that impeachment is not a suitable reaction to judicial decisions. Trump and his allies have repeatedly criticized judges ruling against his administration, leading to concerns about judicial independence.
