Donald Trump's return to the White House has seen a marked increase in authoritarian behavior, including an encroachment on legislative powers through a series of executive orders and defiance of judicial rulings. His recent invocation of an 18th-century law to deport immigrants has sparked judicial backlash, notably from federal judge James E. Boasberg, who halted the deportations against Trump's wishes. Trump's calls for Boasberg's impeachment highlight his dangerous assertion of superiority over the judiciary, prompting Chief Justice John Roberts to defend judicial independence and the established appellate review process. This conflict threatens the balance of power in the U.S. government.
‘This Radical Left Lunatic of a Judge, a troublemaker and agitator who was sadly appointed by Barack Hussein Obama, was not elected President...’
‘For more than two 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,’ Roberts said in an extraordinary statement, defending judicial independence against Trump's comments.
‘His authoritarian drift threatens to trigger a constitutional crisis and jeopardizes the system of checks and balances that has defined American democracy for nearly 250 years.’
