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.”

Idk man maybe you shouldn't have given immunity to the guy who's given to attacking anyone who doesn't bend over and take his micro dick

    The hostility will continue until immunity is removed.

    Judges have always been a toss up in the US. Most of the time, their job has been taking bribes and protecting the interests of the orphan crushing rich.

    I would submit that hostility towards conservative judges needs to increase.

    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.

    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.

    It's nice to see roberts admit he's turned the court completely away from the Constitution and is now purely a political actor serving as the activist for Republicans.
    He deserves every hostility he gets from every American he has betrayed in order to enrich himself and his buddies. Families are suffering because of him, and he doesn't think he deserves their hate?

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

    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.

    Maybe if Roberts hadn't been so busy sucking off daddy donvict over the years then trump wouldn't have built up his insane expectation that the Supreme Court is there to do his bidding. But of course to Roberts...it's really only the people tired of being forced to witness to all of his court's dick sucking who are big meanies to him. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes Roberts.

    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.

    Seems as though those who turn hostilities toward society find society turning hostilities toward them. Stop protecting a lawless, pedophile wannabe king. The Roberts court is a treasonous embarrassment.
