Chief Justice John Roberts warned against personal attacks on the judiciary, telling an audience Tuesday that while criticism of opinions is fair game, “personally directed hostility” is dangerous and must stop.

Roberts did not mention Donald Trump by name and, as he so often does, he went out of his way to stress that the attacks he was referring to were coming from “not just any one political perspective.” However, the chief justice’s admonishment came weeks after Trump said that justices who ruled against his sweeping tariffs were an “embarrassment to their families.”

    Go home, commit seppuku, all will be written off, as long as you put some effort into writing a sincere note before you do the deed.

      Problems bigger than Roberts.

      Problems the Federalist Society.

      It has compromised Lawyers and Judges at every level, across the entire country, literally in the tens of thousands.

      And is largely responsible for the legal wins for conservative terrorism.

      Roberts is just one of a legion.

        The thing is, Roberts has been in a position to stop this from happening for some time. He rubber stamped its approval essentially. THat’s why he deserves his name shamed in history books.

          Roberts has been in a position to do nothing but serve the Federalist Society agenda.

          Thats why he rubber stamps all this shit.

          And the Federalist Society needs to be why hes shamed in history books.

          Federalist Society is basically Operation Snow White, if it had succeeded, as far as government infiltration/takeover attempts are concerned.

          Only on a much more massive scale… cause Snow White got about 5,000 people into government. Federalist Society has at least 70,000 Judgeships, District Attorneys offices, lawyers, etc etc… amongst their ranks, in positions or poised to enterthem, and while Lawyers themselves may not be government, the shit they push in court can absolutely affect government.

    Roberts the dingus will forever go down in history as the chief justice whose court destroyed the very fabric of American democracy. Unbridled corruption and a dereliction of justice are this court’s defining features. Many SCOTUS before his attempted it, but it wasn’t until the neoconservative filth ushered in by the heritage foundation that they found success. May your remaining days be filled with disgrace and humiliation Roberts - I look forward to pissing on your grave to give you your chief justice desserts.

    Right now I only have a problem with the Supreme Court. I’m okay with all the judges that keeps slapping down all the stupid unconstitutional s*** Trump keeps trying to pull. The Supremes are the ones who are doing end runs around the law to cover his ass. Well them, and Aileen Cannon…

    If the hostility is towards biased judges then stop being biased. You are not supposed to be biased. If the hostility is towards judges in general then fix your legal system. It isn’t working if people are hostile towards judges for no reason.
