Trump demands Supreme Court's John Roberts rein in judges

President Donald Trump demanded that Chief Justice John Roberts and the U.S. Supreme Court rein in federal judges who have issued injunctions around the country that have impeded an array of his policies.

"It is our goal to MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN, and such a high aspiration can never be done if Radical and Highly Partisan Judges are allowed to stand in the way of JUSTICE. STOP NATIONWIDE INJUNCTIONS NOW, BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE. If Justice Roberts and the United States Supreme Court do not fix this toxic and unprecedented situation IMMEDIATELY, our Country is in very serious trouble!" Trump said in a Truth Social post on Thursday.

The 'Constitutional Crisis" they are all saying is coming (it's already here). I wonder if the SC will stand up to him, or what they can possibly DO to stop his mad march across the rights of the people. Obviously there's buyer's remorse on both sides

"Only two left. Reserve now. Don't miss your chance at prosperity (and popularity with the in-crowd)."

And you are correct, eShirl. He is losing.

So much for three co-equal branches of government.

Whatcha gonna do, Donnie?

Impeach the Chief Justice?

OTOH, Roberts would meet his Karma for the Immunity ruling.

But they thought the monster would go after the people they hate.

And the monster would respect the SC and make them richer and more powerful.

please answer. Can't Roberts and the Court reverse their immunity decision? Trump is threatening the USSC. After that rebuke given by Roberts to Trump, can't Roberts convene the Court and revisit their previous, sorry conclusion?

I don't think the Court is entirely powerless against Trump. What's trump gonna do? Dissolve the court and put Cannon up there as Chief Justice? Clearly, this is a big deal. Now it's Trump vs. the Supreme Court.
