If President Donald Trump faces an impeachment trial in the U.S. Senate, it would mark the third time in history a U.S. Supreme Court chief justice would have to preside over the affair -- but the first time for one who has clashed openly with the very president whose fate hangs in the balance.
The chief justice has said nothing publicly about the impeachment inquiry or any preparations for a possible trial. A court spokeswoman has declined to comment on the record. But Roberts, now in his 15th term on the bench, is almost certainly watching developments on Capitol Hill with a wary eye. "I don't think you feel any extra pressure because of the president's attack, but Roberts will be reinforced in his determination to uphold the ideal that he cares about," Rosen said."He feels passionately about the need for the courts to be perceived in a nonpartisan way; he's said it ever since he was appointed as Chief Justice."
The best scenario for Roberts would be for a Senate trial to occur during one of the court's planned recesses in either late December into early January, or late January into early February. But conflict between scheduled court sittings and impeachment proceedings might be impossible to avoid. "A judge who's a good manager of his time should be able to work harder at night and catch up on the regular work of the term," said Eric Claeys, a former Rehnquist clerk during the 1995-1996 term.
GulliAz Karma Will CRUSH Donald Trump 💀💀💀
GulliAz Trump think he can bully Roberts to be Kavanaugh...
When you look up the word ' disaster's your face is planted there for the best definition of a disaster.
This maniac even thinks he owns the Supreme court. Bring on the straight jacket.
Who believes in Karma?
Roberts has been a traitor since he folded to Obamacare!!!
Our Schoolyard- Bully-in-Chief really should be more careful of who he's picking fights with on the playground, its the quiet ones that'll knock him on his ass.
And then he hopped on Air Force One w/ him and some other Senators and they all made up
MairiLicious7 Has he tried to 'fire' him yet?
Obviously .....Don knows jack shit about the law or our constitution.
He doesn’t get to vote. And there won’t be a trial.
proudCa He wants to fill it with another drunk, so he can make more profit of his crap wine
The first thing a criminal defense lawyer tells his client is 'make sure you don't p*ss off the judge'.
once more the President turns on any Republican who doesn't do what he wants when he wants it; yet Republicans say that Democratic Presidents were imperial? Where's the GOP outrage as their own are savaged, and wrongly? PreetBharara rezaaslan
trump How would you describe the word “Trumpism”
Should one really concern themselves over the criticism espoused from someone of 45's caliber? We're not exactly discussing a paragon of integrity here.
ABC trying to influence the Justice by reminding him these things. Lol Epstein cover up? Lol
Trump wasn't conservative until a black guy got into office. Trump doesn't know what real conservatism even is. He only know how to leverage conflict for personal gain. He's a phony.
Justice ROBERTS IS. A disgrace WHO EVER heard of a SCOTUS Judge REWRITING a law to make it passable? HE did, Obamacare should NEVER have been passed After Obama maintained ”it is NOT a tax” He rewrote it to MAKE it so
'Politics are followed in some cases by some-not the rule of Law every time as it should be'
Wow! I bet the Repubs that voted for Roberts are 'tearing out their hair' right now. They thought he would always go along with the 'party line'.
Maybe you don't want to piss of the guy who's about to preside over your trial.
I am sure he will be fair and impartial but Trump will never believe that unless he walks away unscathed.
Trump is getting desperate Really desperate
That is interesting because lots of people think realDonaldTrump completely destroyed the conservative movement in the U.S. The GOP used to be the party of conservatives. Now it is the party of power hunger, racist, xenophobic, rich, self-centered sycophants.
As he did with Obama?
Hope he brings some truth and honesty to the impeachment proceeding. Hope he is resilient and strong enough to handle the obscene disparagements tRUMP will tweet right away.tRUMP has no respect for courtscofvlaw or judges and they can expect the worst from a criminal potus.
This proves Trump is delusional and disgusting. He needs to be removed.
And so Trump opens his mouth again.
Trish5_Here He's trying to lay the claim that he's biased... CriminalInChief ImpeachAndRemove
Three coequal branches. For a god damn reason.
Trump just mad because this judge is not in his pocket.!
Hopefully he keeps it up then!
Lmao! That will really help his case
Let us prey, ... I mean pray! SenateGOP
When Gaddafi received a knife in his rectum, where were the calls for impeachment?
If the president said it, it is indeed true. Trump is all about action and the last thing he wants is a coward working alongside him (claiming to be a pro- Trump advocate and patriot)not doing his job. The president put his lack of job performance on blast, so be it.
Hateful Trump always trying to put others but it always go back him full fold👁️😂☹️👿😡👿
Next realDonaldTrump will say Justice Roberts is a NeverTrumper WAITForIt predictible patterns ImpeachmentHearings DefendOurDemocracy ImpeachAndRemoveTrump
I'd like to know what Obama has on JusticeRoberts. Interesting he said nothing with Obama's attacks on SCOTUS. Everyone still wants an explanation to his ACA vote when Obama clearly said it was not a tax. Lot of lies and deceit, SCOTUS making legislation.
John Roberts please please please
Childish act.
But did you guys cover up the Epstien story because pedophiles run your orginization too?
'President Trump' lol as the kids say
Who cares. He doesn't get a vote. It's called separation of powers. So unless he as suddenly becomes a Senator this is just another biased anti Trump headline.
Ban Depakote.
Brett McGurk is one of the planners of the dark organization ISIS. Brett McGurk, the servant of the dark lobbies who spent trillions of US dollars to launch the Chaos War in Syria. Trump is trying to revive the American economy against dark lobbies. realDonaldTrump RTErdogan
Turkey ranks first in terms of economic power in humanitarian aid. He started the Astana Process to end wars in the Middle East. But Turkey, friendly with America. Turkey is a good country to be friends of all countries. Why do you despise our friendship hand? Hate is bad.
America may fall from a heart attack at any time due to the situation in its trade with China.America is set up, which will make a free trade agreement with Turkey.Turkey is a true friendly country and never betray their friends.Let's end the babylon5 project and become a brother
Trump and Erdogan are the only natural leaders in our contemporary world of vampires. Natural leaders are very few. America and Turkey, together with free trade agreements can open the signature should a bright period in the economy for both countries. Also good for the world
The Dark Lobbies will make America disappear by spending trillions of dollars in the Middle East. Trump is a great leader who will lead and save America to its goal of great economic growth. LindseyGrahamSC senatemajldr Jim_Jordan DevinNunes GOPLeader SecPompeo SpeakerRyan
Why don't you support a natural leader like Trump? How much do you like a fully programmed puppet like Obama? 300 billion dollars is paid to China every year. One day the American economy will have a heart attack and fall to the ground, so it won't get up.
Decayed American politicians spent trillions of dollars dragging the Middle East into Chaos. Trump is trying to turn America into its real essence, the Economic Reality. Trump, the representative of ordinary American people against the rotten Pentagon and CIA and politicians.
The impeachment attempt will fail before it ever reaches impeachment status. John Roberts will have no role in this charade.
Didn’t Jeffery Epstein have blackmail video of Justice Roberts? Asking for a friend. Isn’t that why he pretended that Obamacare was Constitutional I’m pretty sure there is a John Roberts on EspteinCoverup LolitaExpress flight logs. A different John Roberts?
He'll rewrite the constitution from the bench. He's good for that.
How can this be a fair trial when there are Senators that don’t want to hear the facts?
The truth matters.
Really! 🤦🏻♀️🤫
Looking like a bad choice by picking Roberts. Highly unlikely he will be able to be fair. Intent of impeachment looking more about destroying Trump than getting to the truth, especially since key witnesses and evidence will be excluded by Schiff.
No need, won't happen
Epstein didn’t kill himself and you Network help fire an innocent employee. Enjoy your lawsuit.
BS, he famously sat on his hands during The Anointed One’s State of the Union address when He went after the S Ct, so ....
Why did you cover up the Jeffrey Epstein crimes? You are complicit in all his rapes after you had the story.
Hopefully he will truly be a Justice.
can you say ' conflict of interest ' ?
StopTheCoup, DECLAS FisaGate SethRich, JulianAssange TheGreatAwakening TheWorldIsWatching EnjoyTheShow ps EpsteinDidntKillHimself
Cool. Anyway, who's resigning at ? EpsteinCoverup
This is a time in our history where it's decided that as a country do we stand with principles and moral ethics or side with corruption and treasonous acts that are a danger to our national security as a nation. Are we a people of hate or a guiding light to freedom for all?
Hoo boy, can't wait to see the tweets over this...
And so what. Why give hope to your liberal audience when you guys know the impeachment trial is dead on arrival. Anyways what do I know
I wanna talk about this
Come on , let's keep politics out of the courts.
BoycottDisney
ABC News is so delusional that they think they are going to get away with covering-up the crimes of a convicted pedophile, Mr. Jeffrey Epstein. The arrogance is almost unbelievable...
Your network covers up child pedos. Didnt read the story or the headline but your moral compass is garbage and im sure this is skewed news.
I have confidence in Chief Justice Roberts to be fair and impartial. The question is whether Gorsuch and Kavanaugh can forget their 'obligation' to Trump, as Trump sees it!!
There won’t be a trial
Mark Zaid, attorney for Democrat whistle blower Eric Ciaramella at the center of the Democrats' ongoing impeachment inquiry, tweeted in January 2017 that a 'coup has started' and that 'impeachment will follow ultimately.
There's no way to hide information with the way people communicate today. News spread in seconds.
This isn’t news. It’s been in the Constitution for literally hundreds of years.
We'll find out how much Trump Kool-Aid Chief Justice Roberts has quaffed.
