US Chief Justice Roberts: calls for judge's impeachment are inappropriate after Trump lashes out
U.S. Chief Justice John Roberts responded on Tuesday to President Donald Trump's attacks on a federal judge presiding over a deportation battle, rejecting the idea that impeachment is the answer for a disagreement with the jurist's rulings. "For more than two centuries, it has been established that impeachment is not an appropriate response to disagreement concerning a judicial decision," Roberts said in a statement issued by the court. Roberts' statement followed Trump's call on Tuesday for the impeachment of Washington-based U.S. District Judge James Boasberg, who ordered the administration on Saturday to halt the removal of alleged Venezuelan gang members, which Trump has argued is authorized by an 18th-century law historically used only in wartime.
