Summary
Chief Justice John Roberts’ 2024 year-end report warns about threats to judicial independence, citing violence, intimidation, disinformation, and defiance of court rulings.
Roberts raises valid concerns about rising violence against judges and disregard for rulings.
However, he controversially conflates criticism of the judiciary with intimidation and disinformation, including public critique of ethical lapses by justices like Clarence Thomas.
This approach risks diminishing the seriousness of genuine threats and undermining public trust in the court.

We can all agree that Supreme Court justices shouldn’t face threats of physical violence.
Can we? I’m pretty sure if the U.S. is going to continue forcing children to face threats of physical violence, a corrupt Supreme Court Justice should be able to grow tougher skin. Or hey, maybe don’t be such a corrupt piece of shit that people start wanting to test the limits of your lifetime appointment.
Yeah like at some point it’s justified to respond to danger with violence. The supreme court is dangerous for most people.

It’s the words of a parent who expect their child to obey. It’s a common tactic of authoritarians–you’ll see it a lot once you know what to look for. He doesn’t have to be right, but you have to listen and do what he tells you.
It’s no way to negotiate between adults. Roberts can go fuck himself.
This fucker is getting ready to retire so he is getting ready to blame ethics standards for his leaving. This is to justify even more flagrant violations by his to be named successor.
What else should we expect from this wacky robed cultist?
