President Trump has continued to call for judges who rule against his administration to be impeached, prompting a rare rebuke from Chief Justice Roberts. Former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie warned Trump that this approach could alienate the Supreme Court and hurt his chances there. Trump’s comments led to Rep. Brandon Gill filing articles of impeachment against a judge who ruled against one of Trump’s deportation policies. Despite the pushback, Trump doubled down in a post on Truth Social calling for Roberts and other Supreme Court justices to rein in lower court judges. Christie, a former federal prosecutor, believes Roberts actually agrees with Trump on executive power issues but warned that picking a fight with the chief justice could have negative consequences for Trump at the Supreme Court. Critics have accused Roberts of supporting Trump, particularly in a 2024 ruling that protected him from criminal prosecution while in office. Trump’s ongoing feud with the judiciary highlights tensions between the executive and judicial branches of government, with potential implications for future legal battles involving the Trump administration.
