The arrest of a Wisconsin judge highlights the Trump administration's efforts to intimidate the judiciary, mirroring tactics seen in authoritarian regimes. As federal judges issue restraining orders against unconstitutional actions, Trump has retaliated by publicly attacking their integrity and suggesting impeachment. The attempts to impeach judges demonstrate a broader strategy to undermine legal checks on presidential power, despite constitutional protections. Chief Justice Roberts emphasized that impeachment should not be a response to judicial disagreement, shedding light on the ongoing conflict between the judiciary and the executive branch.
President Donald Trump and those around him know that at this point the only real check on his actions will come from the courts.
In an extraordinary public statement, Supreme Court Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. declared, 'Impeachment is not an appropriate response to disagreement concerning a judicial decision.'
