In his year-end message for 2019, Chief Justice John Roberts struck a note that might rankle with Donald Trump. Roberts urged his colleagues to uphold the independence of the Judiciary. Over four pages, he touts the contributions of Article 3 folks to our government and our society.
What I find especially interesting is that, while the message never explicitly refers to the upcoming impeachment trial, its yeoman's effort at celebrating the Judiciary might be a signal to Mr. Trump. The message? His trial will be conducted according to what Justice Roberts considers appropriate, not according to Trump's wish lists.
