Chief Justice John Roberts, who's clashed with Trump, would oversee impeachment trial.
If President Donald Trump faces an impeachment trial in the U.S. Senate, it would mark the third time in history a U.S. Supreme Court chief justice would have to preside over the affair -- but the first time for one who has clashed openly with the very president whose fate hangs in the balance.
The chief justice has said nothing publicly about the impeachment inquiry or any preparations for a possible trial. A court spokeswoman has declined to comment on the record. But Roberts, now in his 15th term on the bench, is almost certainly watching developments on Capitol Hill with a wary eye. "I don't think you feel any extra pressure because of the president's attack, but Roberts will be reinforced in his determination to uphold the ideal that he cares about," Rosen said."He feels passionately about the need for the courts to be perceived in a nonpartisan way; he's said it ever since he was appointed as Chief Justice."
The best scenario for Roberts would be for a Senate trial to occur during one of the court's planned recesses in either late December into early January, or late January into early February. But conflict between scheduled court sittings and impeachment proceedings might be impossible to avoid. "A judge who's a good manager of his time should be able to work harder at night and catch up on the regular work of the term," said Eric Claeys, a former Rehnquist clerk during the 1995-1996 term.
