Chief Justice John Roberts is sounding the alarm over what he calls "dangerous" political attacks on judges, saying the escalating rhetoric is contributing to a surge in threats and violence against the judiciary. He didn’t name names, but his warning comes amid rising tensions over high-profile Supreme Court decisions and heated criticism from politicians.

Editor’s Note: When the country’s top judge says public anger is crossing into dangerous territory, it’s worth paying attention. Roberts isn’t just defending his colleagues—he’s warning that undermining trust in the courts could have real-world consequences, from threats against judges to a breakdown in the rule of law. It’s a rare public plea from someone who usually avoids wading into political fights.
