1:33Now PlayingUS Chief Justice John Roberts said the impeachment of federal judges is “not an appropriate response” to disagreement with their rulings, issuing an extraordinary statement hours after President Donald Trump called for removal of a judge in Washington.
“For more than two centuries, it has been established that impeachment is not an appropriate response to disagreement concerning a judicial decision,” the Supreme Court’s leader said Tuesday in an emailed statement. “The normal appellate review process exists for that purpose.”
Trump on Tuesday called for the impeachment of US District Judge James Boasberg, who on Saturday tried to pause the deportation of hundreds of alleged Venezuelan gang members. In a social media post, Trump, without referring to Boasberg by name, called him a “Radical Left Lunatic of a Judge, a troublemaker and agitator.”
The Justice Department has resisted Boasberg’s orders in the case, saying he lacked power to order airplanes to turn around. Government lawyers also have largely refused to answer Boasberg’s questions about the deportation flights.
