Roberts on personal attacks against judges: 'It's got to stop'

[C_Clayton_Jones]

‘Chief Justice John Roberts on Tuesday pushed back on personal attacks against judges, calling it “dangerous” and a “problem.” “Judges around the country work very hard to get it right, and if they don’t, their opinions are subject to criticism,” Roberts said while responding to a question about handling criticism during an event at Rice University’s Baker Institute for Public Policy. “But personally directed hostility is dangerous, and it’s got to stop,” he added.

U.S. District Judge Lee Rosenthal did not reference President Trump in her question, and his name never came up in the hourlong conversation. The chief justice’s answer, though, comes after the president over the weekend levied one of his most searing denouncements of the Supreme Court yet.

Railing against the justices’ 6-3 decision that invalidated his sweeping tariffs, Trump wrote on Truth Social that the court has “become little more than a weaponized and unjust Political Organization.” In a post on Truth Social, the president described Roberts and the other justices who ruled against him as “inept and embarrassing.”

Trump has also long assailed lower judges who’ve ruled against him, most recently targeting U.S. District Judge James Boasberg for blocking the Justice Department’s subpoenas in its investigation into Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell.’

Roberts needs to preach to his fellow rightists, Trump in particular.

Trump is the poster child of attacks on judges, with conservatives following Trump’s example.

Attacking judges is part of the right’s campaign of political violence.

 

[Natural Citizen]

There's way too many unqualified, woke judges these days who operate based on their personal feels and social/political views rather than the law.

There's no denying that.

Tater's last SCOTUS nomination would be one such example.

She's more qualified than any of them. Your attack is purely race based.

 

[airplanemechanic]

Woke judges who are selected based on their race or LGBTQ politics don't deserve respect and deserve to be personally attacked. Being a judge does not absolve you of being attacked.

Grow some ******* balls and shut up.

Justice Roberts has no one to blame but himself for the mess that he and his corrupt Court have created. Never forget that Roberts was the first judge the Federalist Society groomed for appointment to the SC in the packing of the Court with right wing extremists.

The Roberts Courts have given Trump total immunity from prosecution for his crimes while in office, and is now desperate to back pedal on that one, recently ruling that Trump has no immunity with respect to anything to do with his relationship with Epstein. Too little, too late.

I do worry for the honest Judges in the USA, but Roberts was bought and paid for the moment he was sworn in.

What crimes has Trump committed? Protecting the nation? Securing the border? Attacking a foreign country that has killed Americans for almost 5 decades unscathed?

And it is WELL ESTABLISHED that a sitting president cannot be prosecuted. If he could be, we would have gone after Joe Biden for selling his name for money and threatening to withhold taxpayer money if they didn't fire the prosecutor looking into his sons crimes.

If you don't like that, talk to your local lawmakers.

Trump is a convicted felon and a twice impeached President. He should never have been allowed to run for President ever, because of his life long history of criminal behaviour.

Illegal wars, human rights violations, murdering and kidnapping Americans on the streets, stealing from the Treasury. There's no limits to the depths he has sunk to.

But you knew that. My local lawmakers are dealing with it. Your country will suffer for decades as a result of this crook.

Progs know what their judges are going to do. Republican for some reason do not. You cannot keep nominating many halfway people if the fix is not in. Teh real issue is the lower courts. Now we live with a growing percentage of citizens who care not for their safety among others. You do not cry toward anyone who sniffs at Republican views. And then condemns those who feel the same way against you. All of these judges are now making decisions that affect tens of billions, hundreds of billions and even trillions of dollars over a period of years. And the taxpayer is on the hook for it. We are so corrupted.

So Kavenaugh and Coney Barrett deserve to be personally attacked, because they were only appointed because they're white?

Coney Barrett is the most unqualified SC Judge in my lifetime. ACB was teaching at a law school when she was appointed to the Appeals Court, despite never having tried a case before a judge in her entire career, and less than a year later, after writing 3 opinions, she was elevated to the SC.

Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson is the most qualified judge on the Court. She was a judge in the lower courts for 11 years before being appointed to the SC, and prior to being a judge, had worked as both a prosecutor and a defense attorney.

You need to learn what a DEI appointment truly is before you go shooting off your mouth tough guy.

Considering many on the right agree often with Clarance Thomas, how is criticizing Jackson racist?

The worst are the District Judges who think their purview is national policy, when all they really have power over is their own district.

You're babbling again. You also making all sorts of false allegations against the judiciary with absolutely no evidence of anything.

You were corrupted when Reagan was elected and started lying to the people about "welfare queens", and "free shit". When he destroyed the union movement, promising workers would all get raises when the unions were gone. The workers are still waiting for those raises.

Republican tax cuts have destabilized your economy, leading to huge economic crashes which have impoverished the working and middle class, and transferred the wealth of the nation to the top 10%. Something that you keep cheering for reasons that sane, intelligent people find puzzling.

40 years of brainwashing by billionaire owned right wing media has been very effective.
