Supreme Court of the American Supreme Court warned on Saturday against the dangers of politicians who used heated rhetoric against judges.
“It is packed in the political dispute that a judge who does his or her work is part of the problem,” said Roberts in Charlotte, North Carolina, at the judicial conference of the fourth circuit, a collection of judges and lawyers.
“And of course the danger is that someone could pick it up. And of course we just just had serious threats of violence and murder of judges for doing their work. So I think the political people on both sides of the aisle should keep that in mind.”
Roberts did not mention anyone, but seemed to refer to President Donald Trump and the Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer when he said he felt compelled to speak out against rhetoric by Democrats and Republicans in the past.

Trump has criticized many times over the years, including the evoking of the accusation of a judge who ruled against a deportation policy earlier this year, referring to him as “radical left” and a “crazy”.
Roberts replied at the time and said: “It has been established for more than two centuries that accusation is not a suitable answer to a disagreement with regard to a judicial decision. The normal professional assessment process exists for that purpose.”
In 2020, Roberts convicted Schumer because he said Trump-appointed Supreme Court Justices Brett Kavanaugh and Neil Gorsuch “would pay the price” with regard to a matter for an abortion rights during Trump’s first term.

“You released the whirlwind and you pay the price,” Schumer said during a meeting outside the Supreme Court at that time. “You will not know what will hit you if you continue with these terrible decisions.”
Schumer later said that he referred to the political price that he believed would pay Senate Republicans, but he said: “I had not had to use the words I did, but in no way I was a threat. I would never do anything like that, and leader McConnell knows that.”

Roberts said about Schumer at the time: “Justices know that criticism comes with the territory, but threatening statements of these kinds of the highest levels of the government are not only inappropriate, they are dangerous. All members of the court will continue to do their work, without fear or favor, from any quarter.”

In April, an armed man argued who was arrested outside the house of Kavanaugh guilty of an attempt to kill the righteousness.
Roberts’ comments came after the Supreme Court had issued the final decisions of his term of office, as a result of which the Trump government had given a victory on Friday by limiting his agenda by limiting judicial orders.
