Tue Mar 18 16:10:00 UTC 2025: ## Chief Justice Roberts Condemns Calls to Impeach Judges Ruling Against Trump
**WASHINGTON** – Chief Justice John Roberts issued a strongly worded rebuke Tuesday, condemning President Trump and his allies for their calls to impeach judges who issue rulings against the administration. In an unprecedented statement, Roberts asserted that impeachment is not a legitimate response to judicial decisions, emphasizing the established appellate process as the proper mechanism for addressing disagreements.
The Chief Justice’s statement follows a pattern of increasingly aggressive calls from Trump and his supporters to impeach judges who have blocked various administration policies. This pressure intensified Tuesday when President Trump himself called for the impeachment of U.S. District Judge James Boasberg, who recently blocked the deportation of Venezuelan migrants. Trump’s tweet referred to Boasberg as a “Crooked Judge” and demanded his impeachment.
Roberts’ statement underscores the gravity of the situation, highlighting the long-standing principle of judicial independence and the importance of upholding the established legal framework. The unprecedented nature of the Chief Justice’s intervention underscores the concern within the judiciary over the potential erosion of the rule of law.
