Special Coverage: A Fireside Chat with Chief Justice John Roberts
Chief Justice John Roberts again rebuked recent calls by President Donald Trump’s allies to impeach judges who rule against the administration.“Impeachment is not how you register disagreement with decisions,” Roberts said Wednesday during an appearance in Buffalo, New York. “That’s what we’re there for,” he said.His remarks echoed ones he’d made in March after the president called for the impeachment of US District Judge James Boasberg, who’d ruled against the administration’s efforts to deportation alleged Venezuelan gang members.During his appearance, Roberts also emphasized the importance of judicial independence. The judiciary’s “job is to obviously decide cases, but in the course of that check the excesses of Congress or the executive,” Roberts said. “And that does require a degree of independence.”His comment received applause from the audience, which was there to celebrate the 125th anniversary of the US District Court for the Western District of New York.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
