Chief Justice Roberts Responds To Trump's Social Media Post
Alright, folks, buckle up—because this one’s got all the hallmarks of a political showdown that’s about to get very interesting. We’re talking about another head-on collision between the Trump administration and the judiciary, with deportation flights, gang members, and a fiery impeachment demand thrown into the mix.
So here’s what’s going down: The Trump administration has been aggressively ramping up deportation efforts, specifically targeting gang members from organizations like Tren de Aragua and MS-13—groups that, let’s be honest, no sane person wants roaming the streets of America. But just as these flights were taking off, D.C. District Court Judge James Boasberg stepped in, issuing a temporary restraining order (TRO) to halt the deportations while legal challenges play out.
Now, for those keeping score at home, Judge Boasberg isn’t exactly a neutral umpire. He was appointed by Barack Obama and has made rulings in the past that haven’t exactly screamed America First. So, naturally, Trump wasted zero time responding, taking to Truth Social with a post that left no room for interpretation:
"This Radical Left Lunatic of a Judge, a troublemaker and agitator who was sadly appointed by Barack Hussein Obama, was not elected President... I WON FOR MANY REASONS, IN AN OVERWHELMING MANDATE, BUT FIGHTING ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION MAY HAVE BEEN THE NUMBER ONE REASON FOR THIS HISTORIC VICTORY. I’m just doing what the VOTERS wanted me to do. This judge, like many of the Crooked Judges I am forced to appear before, should be IMPEACHED!!!"
Yep. Trump’s calling for Boasberg’s impeachment, and, honestly, it’s not surprising. This isn’t just about one judge’s ruling—it’s about a growing pattern of unelected judges inserting themselves into executive decisions, particularly on immigration. And if you’ve been paying attention, this kind of pushback from the judiciary isn’t new. The Left has been weaponizing the courts for years to block Trump’s policies, and he’s clearly had enough.
CHIEF JUSTICE JOHN ROBERTS on Trump world's calls to impeach James Boasberg, who ruled against the president on the Alien Enemy Act:

But wait—here comes Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts with a classic institutional defense of the judiciary. Roberts, who has a history of taking veiled swipes at Trump, made it clear that he’s not on board with calls to remove Boasberg:
"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."
Translation? Let the system work, don’t call for impeachment just because you don’t like a ruling. And while, sure, that’s a nice sentiment in theory, it kind of ignores the bigger issue: What happens when lower courts are consistently overstepping their bounds?
That’s the real question here. And it’s one that could be headed straight to the Supreme Court—fast. Because let’s be real, this isn’t just about this one deportation order. This is about whether a federal judge should be able to single-handedly override an administration’s authority to enforce immigration law. And if the Supreme Court doesn’t step in soon, don’t be surprised if more judges start playing kingmaker on issues far beyond immigration.
