President Donald Trump is in a public wrestling match with Chief Justice John Roberts and some of the federal judiciary.
Along with congressional lawmakers, Mr. Trump has called for impeaching several U.S. district judges who have issued orders blocking his administration from carrying out key policies.
Mr. Roberts says this imperils the independence of the judiciary, without which abuses of power could become routine.
