'Better be careful': WSJ editorial warns Trump's 'lousy taunts' primed to 'backfire'

President Donald Trump is "taunting" Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts — and he "better be careful," warned the conservative Wall Street Journal editorial board, because it could "backfire."

The board wrote Friday evening about Trump's downplay of Roberts' stern rebuke earlier in the week.

On Tuesday, Roberts issued a rare public statement rebuking Trump, who hours earlier had demanded the impeachment of U.S. District Judge James Boasberg, who had ruled against the administration's deportation plans.
