John Roberts has created a monster — and he knows it
Five or six years ago, I was in federal court on an evidence motion. At a hearing last week about Trump’s deportation of Venezuelan immigrants to an El Salvador prison, Trump lawyer Abhishek Kambli refused to answer Judge James Boasberg’s entirely expected questions, and claimed that the president didn’t have to follow the judge’s order in any event. That didn’t diminish her absurdly strident legal opinion that, “as the Supreme Court has repeatedly made clear — federal courts generally have no jurisdiction over the President’s conduct of foreign affairs… and his core Article II powers to repel a declared invasion.” Wrong again. The Supreme Court created this monster Trump capped off the whole affair by demanding Judge Boasberg’s impeachment, posting on Truth Social that, “This Radical Left Lunatic of a Judge, a troublemaker and agitator who was sadly appointed by Barack Hussein Obama, was not elected President… This judge, like many of the Crooked Judges’ I am forced to appear before, should be IMPEACHED!! This will give Roberts the chance to list some conduct that is—and conversely that can never be—a core executive function, to diffuse Trump’s notion that he can get away with murder.
