The chief justice had spoken out against MAGA’s attacks on the judiciary.
JD Vance ripped into Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts for saying the courts are an equal branch of government whose job is to “check the excesses” of the executive branch.
Earlier this month, Roberts responded to calls from MAGA to impeach judges who ruled against Donald Trump’s policies by saying, “In our Constitution, the judiciary is a coequal branch of government, separate from the others, with the authority to interpret the Constitution as law, and strike down acts of Congress or acts of the president.”
“That innovation doesn’t work if the judiciary is not independent,” he continued during a fireside chat in Buffalo, New York. “Its job is to, obviously, decide cases, but in the course of that, check the excesses of Congress or of the executive, and that does require a degree of independence.”
how are you going to argue with the highest court in the land about their status in the government?
The Republican way of course!
Stupidly
With unimaginable levels of unfounded confidence
Behind closed doors with many bulging manila envelopes and vague threats.
Jail them. Literally send aeound your thunfs to.haul their ass to jail,.no due process needed.
I’d say don’t argue with the courts at all.
Declare their opposition to -your new laws- illegal, while being sure there is no force to stop you making the courts submissive to your new king’s laws.
Just about what they are doing now.
