On her SiriusXM program Friday, Megyn Kelly predicted that U.S. Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts could be on “the thinnest of possible ice” depending on how he rules in the Trump administration’s deportation case.
The Department of Justice, under President Donald Trump, asked the Supreme Court to overturn a lower court order blocking the deportation of migrant gang members. Kelly singled out Roberts as the conservative justice most likely to oppose the administration’s request, warning that Roberts could risk the court’s reputation by siding against the president.
The D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals upheld a temporary block on deportations, after President Trump invoked the Alien Enemies Act. Political analyst Mark Halperin noted that while Roberts has occasionally ruled against Republican presidents, he predicted the Supreme Court would likely favor Trump in this case, especially given the national security issues involved. Halperin emphasized the importance of expediting such cases.
