Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts’ view of judicial criticism astounds me. Has he forgotten the very amendment (1) he is sworn to uphold?
It’s one thing to encourage protection from obvious or disguised security threats or commentary intended to incite. However, his President Donald Trump and Sen. Chuck Schumer examples were standard political rhetoric. Furthermore, does he believe the courts are so supreme as to be exempt from inviolable opinions?
Judges and citizens have every right and expectation that decisions be honored and obeyed unless otherwise legally refuted. The only thing sacrosanct in our republic is the Constitution as it currently stands unchanged.
