U.S. Chief Justice Rebukes Trump’s Attack On Judge

UNITED STATES – U.S. Chief Justice John Roberts rebuked president Donald Trump for suggesting the way to resolve a court dispute was by impeaching the judge.

In a rare statement, Roberts wrote: “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.”

Washington-based U.S. District Judge James Boasberg ordered the administration on Saturday to halt the removal of alleged Venezuelan gang members, which Trump has argued is authorized by an 18th-century law historically used only in wartime.
