The chief justice’s message comes as he is set to preside at the Senate impeachment trial of President Donald Trump. While Roberts did not refer to the pending case against the president, he reminded his colleagues of their collective role in maintaining public trust in government. "We should celebrate our strong and independent judiciary, a key source of national unity and stability," Roberts wrote."But we should also remember that justice is not inevitable."
