Wache: “Sympheality is crucial,” says Chief Justice Roberts

Buffalo (AP) – In the middle of attacks on federal judges who have slowed the agenda of President Donald Trump, the senior judge John Roberts defended the independence of the judiciary on Wednesday to “check the excesses of the congress or the executive”.

Take a look at the conversation in the video player above.

“The independence of the judiciary is crucial,” said Roberts, the leader of the Supreme Court and the entire Federal Justice, at a meeting of judges and lawyers in his hometown.

He described the creation of three coocal government branches as the only innovation of the constitution. “This innovation does not work if the judiciary is not independent,” he said.

The 70-year-old supreme judge repeatedly repeated things that he said before. However, his comments in response to questions of another federal judge showed applause from the 600 people who gathered on the 125th anniversary of the federal courts in the western district of New York.

When asked about Trump's comments and his allies, who support the elevation of judges based on their decisions, Roberts largely repeated the explanation he had made in March. “The elevation is not the way you register disagreement for a decision,” he said.

Roberts also said that he had no plans to retire because he approached the 20th anniversary of his confirmation to the highest court in the nation.

His appearance in the city in which he was born followed – from less than a week – by Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson's powerful conviction of attacks on judges.

In a speech on a conference of judges and lawyers in Puerto Rico, Jackson spoke about “the relentless attacks and the disregard and falsification that are now opposite the country and maybe many of them every day.”

In comments on the court's website, Jackson described the attacks as “elephant in the room” in the course of a lecture in which Trump did not mention.

The president, the senior adjuhhen Miller and the billionaire, Elon Musk, sometimes blocked judges who blocked parts of Trump's agenda. Trump called the judge, who temporarily ended the deportations with a war of the 18th century a “radical lunatics”.

There were also troubling attempts to intimidate in the form of undesirable pizza deliveries to the houses of judges and their children. Some of these deliveries were sent on behalf of Daniel Anderl, the son of the US district judge Esther Salas. Anderl was shot in the family in the family in 2020.

“These deliveries are threats to show that those who intimidate the target judge know the address of the judge or the addresses of their family members,” wrote Senator Dick Durbin, D-il.

Trump was largely spared the High Court, which rejects several emergency calls against the judgments of the under court who violated him.

So far, the president has a mixed record in front of the judges. On Tuesday, the conservative majority of the court revived the ban on members of the transgender military service by the administration, while the judicial challenges in politics were continued. The three liberal judges reflected.

However, the court temporarily hired some deportations of alleged members of the Venezuelan gangs according to a law of the war from the 18th century. And the judges also said that deportations cannot take place without giving people the opportunity to challenge them in court.

Next week, the court will hear arguments about Trump's executive order that refuses the citizens of people born in America who are illegal in the country. The Ministry of Justice wants the court to narrow down the proper orders so that the restrictions can be enforced in more than half of the country while the cases continue.
