Summary
Chief Justice John Roberts issued a rare rebuke after Trump called for impeaching judges who ruled against him.
Roberts defended judicial independence, but critics argue his court’s rulings have shielded Trump from accountability, enabling his authoritarian tendencies.
Trump ignored a federal court order blocking migrant deportations, prompting legal scrutiny. Judges facing threats highlight growing concerns over the judiciary’s role in checking executive power.
With a conservative Supreme Court majority, questions remain over whether Roberts will continue enabling Trump’s power or push back against further erosion of judicial authority.
Or it may be that we in the West are not exceptional, Russians are also just people, and it can happen to any country that is not willing to resist it.
Yes and no? Both are large areas of land of scattered and mixed populations held together by political strangeness that is surprisingly robust.
Both seem easy to understand , however in closer inspection are misunderstood by most, even by their own citizens.
