  • The chief justice has long shown himself to be a willing Trump ally. Except when the president pulls stunts like this.

The article from Slate, published in March 2025, discusses a looming constitutional crisis involving Chief Justice John Roberts and the Trump administration. It outlines how the Trump administration's actions, particularly in relation to the judiciary and executive overreach, have put the Supreme Court in a precarious position. The piece details how Trump's attempts to influence judicial decisions and his administration's disregard for court rulings have led to a standoff, with Chief Justice Roberts emerging as a central figure in defending judicial independence. The article speculates on potential outcomes, including Roberts potentially leading a unanimous court decision to assert the judiciary's authority, or facing a situation where the administration might refuse to comply with court orders, thereby precipitating a constitutional crisis. It also explores the historical context of such conflicts and the implications for American democracy, highlighting the tension between the branches of government and the potential for a significant legal and political showdown.
