MAGA Cannot Abide Chief Justice Roberts Criticism of Trump

U.S. Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts issued a statement taking President Trump to task for calling for the impeachment of James Boasberg, the Chief Judge of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia.

Trump had invoked the Alien Enemies Act of 1798 to deport alleged members of the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua, an organization designated as a foreign terrorist group. However, Judge Boasberg temporarily halted the order because the United States is not at war with Venezuela, nor has it been established the men are actually members of the terror group.

With his usual level of restraint, Trump has demanded Judge Boasberg be impeached:

This prompted Chief Justice Roberts to issue the following statement:

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.

Needless to say, MAGA world which had recently turned its ire on Trump appointed Associate Justice Amy Coney Barrett before Trump came to her defense, has now turned its attention to Roberts as demonstrated by Townhall.com's Matt Vespa:

Know your role; shut your hole, an axiom that should be slapped across Boasberg and Roberts’ faces. 

Until this issue comes before your dais, just be quiet.

Vespa is being vacuous. Chief Justice Roberts wasn't commenting on the merits of the case in question. He merely suggested the President was out of line in demanding the impeachment of a judge who ruled against him. There's nothing in Roberts' statement which would indicate the Supreme Court would rule against Trump in this case if the case were to come before them. After all, it was Chief Justice Roberts who bestowed Trump with presidential immunity.

But that Roberts would grant Trump immunity isn't enough for MAGA world much less Roberts' public criticism of former President Obama for his criticism of the Supreme Court ruling in Citizens United back in 2010. In being granted presidential immunity, MAGA world wants judges to also grant Trump presidential obsequiousness at all times.

Despite his rebuke of Trump concerning Boasberg, don't be surprised Roberts votes Trump way when this case comes before the Supreme Court. Judge Roberts will give MAGA their cake. They will then eat it and still not be satisfied.
