'Pushing the limits': CNN analyst on long lasting effects of Trump pushing boundaries with courts

Chief Justice John Roberts pushed back on President Donald Trump’s escalating rhetoric against the federal judiciary in a highly unusual statement that appeared to be aimed at the president’s call to impeach judges who rule against him. Roberts’ statement did not mention Trump by name, but it came hours after the president stepped up his attacks on federal judges by specifically calling for US District Judge James Boasberg, who has temporarily blocked the deportations of alleged Venezuelan gang members, to be impeached.
