Here's a statement of the obvious: The opinions expressed here are those of the participants, not those of the Mutual Fund Observer. We cannot vouch for the accuracy or appropriateness of any of it, though we do encourage civility and good humor.
“Chief Justice John Roberts described the rule of law as 'endangered' and warned against 'trashing the justices,' but speaking in Washington Monday he didn’t point fingers directly at President Donald Trump or his allies for publicly excoriating judges who’ve ruled against aspects of Trump’s agenda.”
“Roberts suggested some recent verbal attacks on the justices had gone too far, but he gave no specific examples. 'The court has obviously made mistakes throughout its history, and those should be criticized, so long as it is in terms of the decision, really, and not ad hominem against the justices. I just think that doesn’t do any good,' the chief justice said.”
If anything else, Roberts needs to use stronger and more direct language in messaging the public. How can other judges be threatened for carrying out their duties?
Agreed. It's "the pot calling the kettle black." He brought this on. Nevertheless, the point stands: the Rule of Law IS endangered. Orange Criminal, Violent, Grifting Reich.
