WASHINGTON (AP) — Chief Justice John Roberts, speaking at a moment when threats against judges are on the rise, warned on Saturday that elected officials’ heated words about judges can lead to threats or acts of violence by others.

Without identifying anyone by name, Roberts clearly referenced Republican President Donald Trump and Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer of New York when he said he has felt compelled to issue public rebukes of figures in both parties in recent years.

Absolutely. There's a part of me that wants to believe "this isn't who we are", but, with ~~kidnapping victims~~ detainees being murdered in ICE custody and people likely being murdered in our gulag in El Salvador (not that we'll ever learn about it), it's an eminently fair statement.

Not to mention that half of the people on SCOTUS outright lied repeatedly about their principles and values during their Senate confirmation hearings. They don't deserve an iota of respect from good, reasonable people.

From where I'm sitting, this motherfucker deserves way more criticism and way more interrupted sleep after spending the last term paving the way for rule by fiat and doing absolutely nothing meaning to stop the speedrunning of 1939-style fascism in the US.
