During Wednesday night's event, Roberts spoke about the Constitution and the important role of the court: "In our Constitution ... the judiciary is a coequal branch of government, separate from the others, with the authority to interpret the Constitution as law and strike down, obviously, acts of Congress or acts of the president," NBC News reports.

Jeffrey Toobin, former federal prosecutor, on CNN Wednesday night, in part: "Well, I think it's quite clear that this is aimed at not just the president but the entire administration, which has indicated that they regard a lot of court orders as advisory rather than binding."

Toobin added, "I don't think he [Roberts] disagrees with the president a lot on the substance, he just wants the courts respected in a way that this administration simply has not done."
