It's time for Chief Justice Roberts to resign
He appears to have repeatedly crossed the line from judge to political servant.
Matthew G. Andersson | February 26, 2026
Along-time U.S. Supreme Court reporter for the New York Times, Linda Greenhouse, recently wrote a surprisingly candid description of how U.S. Chief Justice John Roberts added “gratuitous” language into his opinion on the recent tariff case, personally criticizing the president on record.
Greenhouse conveniently frames the justice’s indulgence, however, as a legitimate “warning” to both the president and “the waiting world.” She states that Roberts “is losing patience with Trump.” Apparently, the chief justice is thought to be entitled to act as a shadow president.
Greenhouse admits that Roberts’s personal opinion of the president, made by a judge who is tasked with technical assessments of legal arguments — or calling balls and strikes — is outside the bounds of his normal case opinion writing.
But she nonetheless celebrates his second-guessing of executive office decision-making, as a new judicial responsibility, and appropriate as a watchdog for public policy he disagrees with, or that his political influencers disagree with. That is obviously outside his constitutional and judicial oath, but it may be inside an impeachable offense.
