“Chief Justice John Roberts said the impeachment of federal judges is “not an appropriate response” to disagreement with their rulings.
The extraordinary statement from the leader of #SCOTUS comes hours after #Trump called for the impeachment of a judge who tried to pause the deportation of hundreds of alleged Venezuelan gang members” 1/...

2/ Via Joyce Vance:
The Chief Justice speaks out to protect democracy, at least as far as his own institution is concerned. Hopefully this signals an intent to stand for more. In the face of silence from the GOP, he has chosen to take this remarkable step of warning the president to back off.
3/ Roberts: "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."
@GottaLaff I hope he has seen the absolute tantrum meltdown posted on TS by #POTUS earlier. It’s way past the concept of impeaching anyone in the judiciary. Racism, Slander, Libel, and threats. Maybe, just maybe #SCOTUS is beginning to understand what a monster they have unleashed; and they better get a hold of it PDQ, or the USA will be #Gilead
@HarriettMB We keep hoping.... I mean, what does it take -- Trump's eyes starting to glow red, and tentacles coming out of his ears or something?
@woozle @HarriettMB @GottaLaff Actually, that tentacle thing happened yesterday.
@rjblaskiewicz @HarriettMB @GottaLaff TentacleDemonald Trump: "They're the best tentacles, the greatest perfect tentacles. Homo-Sapo-Joe Biden never had tentacles. That's why he made such a mess, fumbling everything with his bony human hand-stubs. These are tentacles like you're never seen, and we're going to get great things done."
