Marching Towards Impeachment

The three branches of the American federal government is a hallmark of our republic.  Each is independent of the others and each can make decisions that are contrary to what the others want accomplished.

Thus the legislature passes the laws, the judiciary reviews the laws using the constitution as its guide to determine the legality of laws, and the administrative branch enforces the laws.

Perhaps Donald Trump should look at this Federal government graphic.

Today Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. directed a rare and pointed shot at President Trump defending the federal judiciary in the wake of Trump’s criticism of an “Obama judge” who ruled against the administration’s attempt to bar migrants who cross the border illegally from seeking asylum.

“We do not have Obama judges or Trump judges, Bush judges or Clinton judges,” Roberts said in a statement released by the court’s public information office. “What we have is an extraordinary group of dedicated judges doing their level best to do equal right to those appearing before them.”

He added: “That independent judiciary is something we should all be thankful for.”

“Sorry Chief Justice John Roberts, but you do indeed have ‘Obama judges,’ and they have a much different point of view than the people who are charged with the safety of our country,” Trump said over Twitter.

In my view this is all about Donald Trump trying to tear apart the American democracy.  He attacks the press calling it the enemy of the people.  He attacks the courts.  Trump sneered at a “so-called judge” when the travel ban executive order was overturned. And now that the House of Representatives will be controlled by the Democratic Party in January he will most likely attack that legislative body.

Is Donald Trump marching towards impeachment?  If he attempts to do acts that are not permitted by the constitution the answer will be yes.
