Roberts rejects Trump’s call for impeaching judge who ruled against his deportation plans
WASHINGTON (AP) — In an extraordinary display of conflict between the executive and judiciary branches, Chief Justice John Roberts rejected calls for impeaching judges shortly after President Donald Trump demanded the removal of one who ruled against his deportation plans.
The rebuke from the Supreme Court’s leader demonstrated how controversy over recent flights of Venezuelan immigrants has inflamed tensions over the judiciary’s role, with a legal case challenging Trump’s actions now threatening to spiral into a clash of constitutional powers.
“For more than two centuries, it has been established that impeachment is not an appropriate response to disagreement concerning a judicial decision,” Roberts said. “The normal appellate review process exists for that purpose.”
The rare statement came just hours after a social media post from Trump, who described U.S. District Judge James E. Boasberg as an unelected “troublemaker and agitator.” Boasberg had issued an order blocking deportation flights that Trump was carrying out by invoking wartime authorities from an 18th century law.

Wow, at least one SCOTUS is willing to stand up and defend their oath to the Constitution.

In a strongly-worded informal "statement."

The judge says: you don't impeach a judge just because you don't like their decision. Trump says: Watch me.

I worry about the safety of these judges who stand up to Rump.

Remember, SCOTUS judges can be replaced too. I'm looking at you, ACB... your replacement is already lined up: https://forums.macresource.com/read.php?2,3005064,3005227#msg-3005227

What is the process for replacement? If he were to replace, I'd suspect that he would go after the other 3 females first. Or all 4 at once, claim that they're all DEI hires.

impeachment, with 2/3rds of the Senate convicting on the charges (which won't happen). Then the "normal" process to appoint a judge takes place.

You all are assuming that the judge needs to be impeached to be removed. Something could just "happen" to one of them.
