Chief Justice John Roberts is warning that elected officials’ heated words about judges can lead to threats or acts of violence by others.

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.

    Then stop making shitty, arbitrary rulings that let Trump get away with literal kidnapping and murder. We weren’t the one’s who escalated first. In fact, this is us asking nicely.

          Not a one man operation and the effective tactics require more coordination. I’ll let the folks that fucked this all up fix it; not my job to parent retarded MAGAts.
