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.

    One, this stupid cunt is trying to “both sides” this and that’s pure horse shit. Two, these are the consequences of your fascist actions. Nobody sane is criticizing Sotomayor, Kagan, or Jackson, because they don’t have a track record of corruption, boofing, or being in a cult.

    Corrupt judges should fear for their safety every time they leave their residence.
