The president of the Supreme Court Roberts rebukes Trump’s call to judges accuse

In a rare public statement, the president of the John Roberts court condemned President Donald Trump and his allies for demanding the accusation of federal judges who govern against the administration. Roberts’s comments occur when Trump intensifies his attacks against the Judiciary, asking for the elimination of US Boasberg district judge after blocking a deportation order.

Roberts defends judicial independence

Roberts emphasized that political trial should never serve as a response to judicial decisions.

“For more than two centuries, it has been established that the accusation is not an appropriate response to the disagreement of a judicial decision,” Roberts said. “The normal appeal review process exists for that purpose.”

His statement reflects a growing concern among the judges as political attacks against the Judiciary increase. Federal courts have often intervened in Trump’s policies, which caused the frustration of the administration and its supporters.

Trump intensifies the conflict

Trump responded quickly, rejecting Roberts’s comments during a Fox News interview. He insisted that the calls to the accusation of Boasberg were justified.

“Many people have asked for the accusation of this judge,” Trump said. “We have very bad judges, and at some point, you must start seeing what to do when you have a dishonest judge.”

This marks the first time Trump, as acting president, has explicitly requested the accusation for a judicial ruling. Early in the day, he led Truth Social, attacking Boasberg and other judges he has faced in the past.

Republicans press by judicial trial

After Trump’s comments, representative Brandon Gill (R-TX) presented articles of political trial against Judge Boasberg. He accused the judge of exceeding his authority by blocking the use of the administration of the Alien enemies law to deport Venezuelan migrants.

Gill’s movement is part of a broader republican effort to attack federal judges that challenge administration policies. In addition to Boasberg, the legislators of the Republican party have also proposed to accuse:

• Judge John McConnellwho stopped a freezing of federal funds.
• Judge Amir Aliwho restored foreign aid payments.
• Judge Paul Engelmayerthat ruled against Elon Musk’s attempts to access the financial networks of the Treasury department.

The judges warn about threats to judicial independence

Roberts’s statement aligns with the warnings of other judges. Judge Richard Sullivan, president of the Security Committee of the Judicial Conference, recently warned of the Judiciary.

“We have a system that allows appeals, not political trial, in response to legal disagreements,” said Sullivan.

Judicial trials are extremely rare

Although the accusation is constitutional, only 15 federal judges have been eliminated in the history of the United States. Most of these cases involved serious misconduct, such as bribery or fraud. No judge has been accused only of a legal ruling alone.

Even attempts at the judgment of non -political judgment have faced obstacles. In 2010, Judge G. Thomas Porteous became the last federal judge to be retired after he was caught by accepting bribes.

What happens later?

Boasberg’s political trial or any other judge is still unlikely, since a conviction would require two thirds of the Senate, an empinated obstacle even with the republican control of the congress.

However, Trump’s aggressive position against the Judiciary indicates a deep political and legal battle over the Executive Power. With several of the Trump policies that are expected to reach the Supreme Court, Roberts’s statement can presage more in conflicts between the White House and the Judiciary.
