Summary

Chief Justice John Roberts issued a rare statement rejecting Trump's call to impeach U.S. District Judge James Boasberg, who ruled against Trump's deportation plans.

Roberts declared "impeachment is not an appropriate response to disagreement concerning a judicial decision."

Trump had labeled Boasberg a "troublemaker and agitator" on social media after the judge blocked deportation flights under the Alien Enemies Act of 1798.

The conflict escalated after the administration allegedly ignored Boasberg's verbal order to return deportation flights. Legal experts called Trump's demand "a direct threat to judicial independence."

They know they'd better not disagree.

They know they’d better not disagree.

They just did. Publicly.

Let me know when it's in an official ruling or any other way that matters.

[–] Buelldozer@lemmy.today 12 points 11 months ago (1 children)

'Member when everyone was convinced that SCOTUS was going to overturn Trump's 2020 election loss?

Trump and his MAGAts can go fuck themselves but pretending that SCOTUS has never bucked them is denying reality.

We're in a new era now where they've given Trump unprecedented power.

The past is past; we're living in a brave new world now. I never pretended they didn't rule against him. I'm saying that they won't in the future because it'll expose how powerless they are to enforce anything against him, and would also put a target on their own backs.

i forsee a future judiciary that does little more than rebuke for trumps actions while doing nothing to resolve it.

Or what? Andrew Jackson exposed how toothless the SCOTUS really is, and nothing about that has changed since.

[–] ITeeTechMonkey@lemmy.world 9 points 11 months ago

Ive been telling people that Trump will pull an Andrew Jackson because in reality the judicial branch of the government has NO enforcement mechanism for their rulings.

They have to hope the executive branch will play by the rules and follow their rulings.

Roberts and his justices gave Trump even more unchecked power when they rule the president cannot be tried for official acts (leaving only impeachment as a means of punishment).

He must not be any sort of history buff because he would know the power of the judicial system is stripped away and becomes a superficial system that is used to punish those in the "out" group when a state turns to fascism or a dictatorship.

Roberts is truly a dipshit and a clown.

Yes, that was my point.
