WASHINGTON, March 17 (Reuters) - U.S. Chief Justice John Roberts said on Tuesday that hostility directed in personal terms at judges is "dangerous and it's got to stop," commenting just days after President Donald Trump's ‌latest social media broadside against judges who have ruled against him and his administration.

Roberts did not mention the Republican ‌president by name in his remarks at an event at Rice University in Houston. But Roberts, who has led the U.S. Supreme Court for more than ​two decades, said that while criticism of judicial decisions is welcome and often healthy, attacks of a personal nature against judges cross a line.

Welcome to the real world Judge.

If you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen.

Anytime in the next 3 months is preferred.

Maybe he should resign. He might feel better if he does. I know I would.

He is partially responsible for it since he is part of it (Black Robe Tyrants (BRT).

If they followed the easy to understand written law, quit coddling criminals, and stopped the partisan attacks; we the people would be much happier.

Opportunistic activist judges are a stain on the judiciary, and do not deserve the unique position of authority.

Roberts still wants to promote the BS narrative: "we are all just selfless legal scholars and public servants, who never would promote politics or own advantage, and always apply the law without bias"

“Yeah, well that’s just your opinion, man”

Nobody believes that BS, left or right.

The corrupt bastards need to hear it.

Needs to go both ways, Roberts.

If district court judges start making rulings based on law and not on personal animosity and political persuasion, they won’t be called out.

Chief Justice Roberts,

DO YOUR JOB and enforce your rulings that these lower court judges keep ignoring. If you had done your job correctly, we wouldn’t be in this spot.

Who has that photo of this guy standing in front of the Bank of Malta with his briefcase, right after the Obamacare ruling?

If only we could figure out the reason for all this animosity toward judges, right? < rolls eyes >

And judges’ personal hostility (including Roberts himself) at Trump needs to stop immediately, too.

Chief Justice, the *first* move is yours. Rein in these rogue district judges personally ‘ruling’ way out of their lane. There are scores of them. Gov’t must function.
