0:15Now PlayingAfter a string of legal losses for his administration, President Donald Trump’s call to impeach a federal judge — and an ensuing rebuke by the US Supreme Court chief justice — is laying the groundwork for a deepening clash between the White House and the judiciary.
Hours after Trump blasted a federal judge for trying to block the deportation of hundreds of alleged Venezuelan gang members, Chief Justice John Roberts issued a statement saying that impeachment is “not an appropriate response” to disagreement with court rulings. For the Republican-appointed justice, it was a rare public signal of pushback to the president.
“This kind of public rebuke from a chief justice of a president is extremely unusual,” said Keith Whittington, a Yale Law School professor and expert on constitutional law. “It’s a very serious and pretty extraordinary ratcheting up of tension between the White House and the judicial branch.”
The relationship between the co-equal branches of government is becoming increasingly strained as the Trump administration hits back at judges who side with those challenging his executive orders on issues from immigration to federal spending and diversity initiatives.
