Last year, Roberts admonished Trump and said judges should not be labeled as "Obama judges" or "Trump judges," but rather as neutral decision-makers. The Supreme Court is already a flashpoint in the presidential election campaign. In all three cases the justices are scheduled to hear in March, lower court judges grounded their decisions against Trump in decades-old Supreme Court precedent that would allow a President to be subpoenaed or sued. A Supreme Court decision could sweep more expansively, just as any ruling related to House investigations could break ground on the separation of powers. On issues from immigration to impeachment, Trump has suggested he could turn to the Supreme Court to rescue him and uphold his administration's policies.
