You helped create this monster Roberts.

1. Roberts may be standing up to trump. Time will tell

2. I posted my response under another thread but will repeat here:

This is my take: Roberts' announcement has nothing to do with the other judge. Roberts is telling F47 that he (Roberts) can't be impeached just because F47 disagrees with any decision he makes now or later.

Roberts' announcement is just further securing his judicial position against F47s rantings.

3. Roberts is trying to claw back his reputation...

Since Trump was caught on hot mic thanking Robert's for the deciding vote on presidential immunity before the state of the union. Trump shook his hand and said, "Thank you. I won't forget."

Robert's is a shill.

4. MaddowBlog-Chief Justice John Roberts rebukes Trump over call for federal judge's impeachment

The White House has been engaged in an intense fight with the judiciary. By calling for a judge’s impeachment, Trump just took the fight to a new level.

Trump, last week: It's "totally illegal" to criticize a judge I like.

Trump, this week: A judge I don't like is a "Radical Left Lunatic" who "should be IMPEACHED!!!"

Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts issued a highly unusual statement on Tuesday morning, for example, that read, "For more than two centuries, it has been established that impeachment is not an appropriate response to disagreement concerning a judicial decision. The normal appellate review process exists for that purpose.".....

Four days later, Politico reported on the president calling for a different federal district court judge’s impeachment.

President Donald Trump on Tuesday called for the impeachment of the federal judge who ordered a two-week halt to his efforts to remove Venezuelan migrants using extraordinary war powers that haven’t been invoked for decades. Trump’s call to remove U.S. District Judge James Boasberg — the chief judge of the federal district court in Washington, D.C. — is the first time since taking office for his second term that he’s asked Congress to seek a judge’s removal, joining increasingly pointed calls by his top donor and adviser Elon Musk and a segment of his MAGA base.

Apparently furious about Boasberg’s handling of the Alien Enemies Act litigation, the president published an especially enraged item to his social media platform, referring to the federal district court judge as a “Radical Left Lunatic,” a “troublemaker” and an “agitator.” After a series of all-caps claims about the fact that the jurist isn’t an elected official — in this country, federal judges aren’t chosen by voters — Trump concluded, “This judge, like many of the Crooked Judges’ I am forced to appear before, should be IMPEACHED!!!”.....

This campaign, however, has been largely relegated to the fringe. There are over 250 GOP lawmakers across the House and the Senate, and the total number of Republicans talking about impeaching federal judges is, as a quantitative matter, fairly small. Few, if any, credible observers have predicted that the impeachment push would ever be taken seriously on Capitol Hill.

But it’s against this backdrop that the sitting Republican president has decided to throw his weight behind an impeachment effort — not because Boasberg committed high crimes or abused his office, but because the judge is handling an important case in a way Trump doesn’t like.

The White House has been engaged in an intensifying fight with the judicial branch, and there’s been growing speculation about whether the administration might consider defying court rulings that the president doesn’t like. With his impeachment call, Trump just took that fight to a new level.
