Summary

In an unprecedented and historic development, Chief Justice Roberts has opened a direct dialogue with Trump in public, admonishing him in a statement in real-time for attacking Federal Judge Boasberg this morning for blocking his illegal use of war powers to deport people in a social media rant, calling him a lunatic and calling for his all caps “IMPEACHMENT”. Michael Popok takes a deep dive into Roberts' direct finger-wagging at Trump, his historic decision to do it outside the confines of an actual court ruling as the chief administrator and defender of the federal court system, and what it could mean when the case ends up before the Supreme Court.
