Chief Justice John Roberts warned against personal attacks on the judiciary, telling an audience Tuesday that while criticism of opinions is fair game, ā€œpersonally directed hostilityā€ 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 ā€œnot just any one political perspective.ā€ However, the chief justice’s admonishment came weeks after Trump said that justices who ruled against his sweeping tariffs were an ā€œembarrassment to their families.ā€

    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.
