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.”

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

      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.

    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.

    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.

    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.
