Chief Justice Roberts rebukes Trump’s call for impeachment of judge

In a rare on-camera appearance on Wednesday, Chief Justice John Roberts rebuked President Donald Trump’s call to impeach a judge who ruled against his administration’s immigration policies.During a wide-ranging podcast interview with the New York Times posted Wednesday, Vice President JD Vance said Chief Justice John Roberts was “profoundly wrong” for recent comments he made on the Supreme Court’s role to check the excesses of the executive.”I thought that was a profoundly wrong sentiment. That’s one half of his job. The other half of his job is to check the excesses of his own branch,” Vance stated. “You cannot have a country where the American people keep on electing immigration enforcement and the courts tell the American people they’re not allowed to have what they voted for. That’s where we are right now,” Vance continued.

Vance’s comments occurred while discussing the administration’s immigration policies and initiatives, which have been met with swift legal actions. Vance said the White House believes Trump “has extraordinary plenary power.”

"not clear whether #DOGE or the #Trump administration more broadly recognized that the move had the potential to open #conflict with the #JudicialBranch.

...it’s not the first time that DOGE initiatives have ruffled the feathers of the judicial branch... the Administrative Office Of the #US Courts rebuked the Office of Personnel Management [taken over by Musk] for emailing the entire judicial branch workforce."

"What Vance's wording suggests here, without directly saying it, is that the executive could potentially respond to a court order by saying to the court, 'You're unconstitutionally intruding on my authority & I'm not going to do what you say.'... "At that point, the #Constitution falls apart."
