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.
This is just absurd.
Senator Schumer criticized the Supreme Court after ProPublica investigations showed they took secret luxury trips with Billionaires:

Some Billionaires even bought property for Clarence Thomas:

Trump repeatedly attacked a U.S Federal Judge, calling him a Mexican:

Last march, after a Judge ruled against him, President Trump called him a crook who should be impeached:

Trump and Schumer are not remotely comparable. .
