And you may say to yourself, “My God, What Have I done?”

Dr. Frankenstein is getting concerned:
Chief Justice John Roberts is pushing back against President Donald Trump and his allies’ calls to impeach judges who’ve ruled against the administration.
“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,” Roberts said Tuesday in a rare and brief statement issued just hours after Trump publicly joined demands by his supporters to remove judges he called “crooked.”
It’s the most intense public conflict between Trump and Roberts since 2018, when the chief justice came to the defense of federal judges who’d ruled against Trump policies.
Trump’s call to remove judges from the bench came after his allies amplified attacks on U.S. District Judge James Boasberg, following an order the judge issued Saturday instructing the administration to turn around aircraft deporting alleged gang members to Venezuela. The planes continued to their destinations, but the administration has insisted it did not defy the judge’s directive.
“This judge, like many of the Crooked Judges’ I am forced to appear before, should be IMPEACHED!!!” Trump wrote in a Truth Social post Tuesday.
I wonder where so many Republicans have gotten the idea that an “energetic executive” is the paramount constitutional imperative that should nullify legal restraints? Strange how these ideas get planted out there.
I wonder what Roberts is thinking about for of his colleagues signing on to a Newsmax column asserting that it is an outrageous act of judicial overreach for a District Court judge to rule that an administration was obligated to pay its contractual obligations for work that is already completed. As long as a Republican is in the White House (or it being subject to any legal consequences) the war on the rule of law is coming from the inside, and the only question now is whether Roberts and Coney Barrett will go along in specific cases.
