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.”
I’m afraid it has been farther way from that. Sincerely, I hope something happens and you guys just make a turn around.
Yeah apologies it’s just exhausting sometimes. We’re trying but it’s not at a critical mass yet. I worry too many people are waiting for him to die thinking that’ll fix everything when he’s a symptom and not the disease.
The guy peacefully pass in his sleep would be something. I dread the infighting that would follow for the “throne”.
If that infighting stops America attacking anyone else in the meantime, then by all means, have at it.
That is utterly depressing to read but something too welcome to happen.
