John Roberts defends the independent judiciary as a Trump officer criticize courts

The highest judge John Roberts emphasized how important an independent judiciary on Wednesday in the comments at a time when the officials of the Trump administration, the courts who have blocked their policies, often criticize.

Roberts, who spoke at a public event in Buffalo, New York, said that an independent judiciary was an essential feature of the US constitution system that did not exist in other countries when founding.

“In our constitution … the judiciary is one of the other separated Ko-equal government branch that is authorized to interpret the constitution as a law and obviously to dismiss the president's congressions or actions,” he said.

“And this innovation does not work if … the judiciary is not independent,” he added. “His task is obvious to decide cases, but in the course of which the excesses of the congress or the executive check, and that requires a certain degree of independence.”

Roberts, who answered a question of the US district judge Lawrain Vilardo based in Buffalo, did not spoke specifically against President Donald Trump, and his comments were mild compared to powerful comments from Liberal Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson last week.

Vilardo also asked Roberts after calling Trump and his allies to complain about judges who had ruled against the administration.

Roberts pointed out an explanation that he had given on this topic and did not work any further.

“Well, I've already spoken about it. You know that the elevation is not as you register disagreements with decisions,” said Roberts.

Vilardo referred to the cases of the Supreme Court and said: “You are for that, right?”

“We are there for that,” replied Roberts.

Last year Roberts wrote the majority opinion when the court decided that Trump had a certain immunity compared to criminal prosecution due to actions in his first term in a decision that increased Trump's re -election offer.

Next week, the court will listen to oral arguments on Trump's efforts to end the constitutional law on birth law for all those born in the United States.

Roberts, a conservative, who was appointed President George W. Bush in 2005, was in Buffalo for the 125th anniversary of the US district court for the western district of New York.

He spent his early years in Buffalo, he noticed, but after moving to Indiana, he moved his loyalities from Buffalo Bills to Chicago Bears. This admission led to some boos of the audience on Wednesday.
