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.”

    If you don’t like criticism, don’t run the most corrupt Supreme Court ever.

    Roberts is a direct cause of this hostility…because he chose partisan political play over protecting human rights and upholding the constitution as written. He played the game for a dancing orange wannabe emperor. He lost the respect of the world and history. He can go fuck himself.

    He will go down as a justice with the same strength of character as wet tissue.

    He’s a coward who is directly culpable for everything we are going through right now.

    Ohhhh is Roberts afraid of the consequences of his actions?

    On another note. Drones are incredibly easy to access and can deliver a payload quite easily.

      traitors that need impeaching, conviction and imprisonment for the rest of their pathetic life.

      any one going along with Trump’s nazis thing (including roberts.)

      But I suspect Roberts is talking about conservatives calling pizza shops and having them deliver pizzas to justices as a form of intimidation, as well as the straight up threats, etc.

      and he is right, that needs to stop.

    Surely small, regular violences committed by one person toward 340,000,000 people merit a large violence against that one person in retaliation?
