Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts is rejecting calls for impeaching federal judges after President Donald Trump demanded the removal of a judge who ruled against his deportation plans.
Roberts then issued a rare public rebuke, according to Fox News.
“This morning, Senator Schumer spoke at a rally in front of the Supreme Court while a case was being argued inside. Senator Schumer referred to two Members of the Court by name and said he wanted to tell them that ‘You have released the whirlwind, and you will pay the price. You will not know what hit you if you go forward with these awful decisions,'” the statement said
“Justices know that criticism comes with the territory, but threatening statements of this sort [blah blah blah]
I don’t see how people are seeing that Roberts statement as a rejection of Trump. He didn’t say Trump’s name or call out anything specific Trump’s done and he’s demonstrated that he’s perfectly capable of doing that
