The court had mostly allowed the president\u2019s policies to stay in effect while district and appellate judges considered challenges, and he reportedly acknowledged in January that he was kissing up to Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI had the nastiest, most vicious joke about John Roberts,\u201d Trump said, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/politics\/2026\/02\/01\/trump-alfalfa-club-dinner\/\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/politics\/2026\/02\/01\/trump-alfalfa-club-dinner\/\" class=\"themeColorForLinks\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">The Washington Post<\/a>. \u201cIf you think I\u2019m going to tell that joke you can forget it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Roberts has called for an end to personal attacks against judges, although he has stopped short of naming the president. The chief justice said during a Rice University forum in Texas last month that \u201cpersonally directed hostility\u201d was dangerous and needed to stop.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe problem sometimes is that the criticism can move from a focus on legal analysis to personalities, and you see from all over, not just any one political perspective on it, that it\u2019s more directed in a personal way, and that, frankly, can be actually quite dangerous,\u201d Roberts said.<\/p>\n<p>The Supreme Court will rule on birthright citizenship and several other controversial cases over the next few months. Justices heard arguments in January about Trump\u2019s attempted firing of a Federal Reserve governor and are considering whether to uphold state laws that ban transgender athletes from competing in female sports.<\/p>\n<p>Do you have questions, concerns or tips?
