A growing conflict is unfolding between President Donald Trump and the U.S. judiciary, particularly targeting the Supreme Court and Chief Justice John Roberts. Several Republican lawmakers and conservative commentators have criticized what they describe as 'activist judges' overstepping their authority, especially in blocking Trump's immigration policies and military actions related to counterterrorism. They argue that unelected judges are undermining the President's constitutional powers under Article II, calling for measures such as impeachment, congressional oversight, jurisdiction-stripping, and funding cuts to hold the judiciary accountable. President Trump and allies have condemned nationwide injunctions issued by lower courts that impede executive orders, framing the situation as a constitutional crisis. Chief Justice Roberts, who has led the Supreme Court for 20 years, has emphasized the importance of judicial independence as a co-equal branch of government tasked with checking excesses by both Congress and the President. His leadership is seen as pivotal in navigating this clash, which some analysts suggest could either weaken or revitalize the Court's authority. The debate highlights tensions over the balance of powers in the U.S. government amid ongoing disputes over immigration enforcement and military authority.
