Chief Justice Roberts warns against heated political words about judges

“’It becomes wrapped up in the political dispute that a judge who’s doing his or her job is part of the problem,’ Roberts said at a gathering of lawyers and judges in Charlotte, North Carolina. ‘And the danger, of course, is somebody might pick up on that. And we have had, of course, serious threats of violence and murder of judges just simply for doing their work. So I think the political people on both sides of the aisle need to keep that in mind.’’
