Chief Justice Roberts rebukes Trump for his call to impeach judges who rule against him:
“For more than 2 centuries, it has been established that impeachment is not an appropriate response to disagreement concerning a judicial decision. The normal appellate review process exists for that purpose”

Judiciary must assert its authority or risk irrelevance as Trump challenges legal constraints. If courts push back and he refuses to comply, a constitutional crisis looms, testing whether the judicial branch still holds power or if we shift towards fascism.
Most Americans don’t grasp the gravity of our moment. They don’t see the fall of democracy as a real threat. It’s something foreign and the idea of the U.S. collapsing into authoritarianism seems unthinkable.

opened the floodgates of “absolute immunity”.
Translation of Roberts' statement:
"Trump, calm down.
It will end up with SCOTUS, and we'll rule in your favor."

I'm so tired of these people feigning ignorance. If you're sincerely that dumb, you shouldn't be trusted around the hot fryer at McDonald's, let alone sit on the Supreme Court.
"What?! What the hell do you mean I can't have judges who rule against me impeached? Do you know WHO I am?!"
The SCOTUS has spoken. So shall it be done.
Congress does that. And if the votes are there to impeach a judge, well good for Trump. If not, good for the judge.
Either way, the constitutional process should be followed.
Roberts: don’t do whatever you like to us.
We should be impeaching judges who rule in Trump’s favor! Because the constitution does not call for presidential immunity.
lol….
Roberts: (thinking) "Shut the fuck up! Theres a camera right there! Call me later, Don."
Fuck John Roberts
Oh yeah
I don't wanna do your dirty work
No more
I'm a fool to do your dirty work
Oh yeah 🎶🎶 Steely Dan
Trump is all of those...
But I think it highly unlikely.

It's like slapping the wrist of a child who set fire to the barn after you gave him matches & then passively watched him do it.
Now there are some very rich, very racist, very hate-filled Americans who love everything Trump is doing.
So the "stopping" will be of more than just one, single man now.... he has his own hateful cabal supporting him.
President Lincoln jailed judges WITHOUT HABEAS CORPUS who attempted to interfere with his power.
He issued an arrest warrant for a Supreme Court judge, de facto placing him under house arrest.
Lincoln is widely regarded as a God who "saved democracy."
Get yer shit straight.
That's a new one.
I don't think even Shelby Foot or Ken Burns went that far.
This statement doesn’t bode well for Trump ignoring the courts
Plus, too little too late, Roberts already told Trump he is immune from prosecution for anything. He helped create this monster.
