John Roberts: "I Never Thought the Leopards Would Eat *My* Judiciary"
Allison Gil
In many of his pretrial motions - particularly in motions to protect discovery and for narrowly tailored gag orders - Special Counsel Jack Smith laid out a mountain of evidence tying Donald Trump’s rhetoric to threats of violence and intimidation. Yet John Roberts can’t figure out why there are so many threats to judges. Given that Justice Roberts usurped last year’s immunity ruling for himself, and knew how he was going to rule well before he ran out the clock on any chance of a trial before the election, I find it hard to believe he didn’t at least glance at the myriad examples of threats to legal officials and witnesses found in Smith’s pleadings before the court.
To act surprised by the increase in threats of violence toward judges reveals either abject incompetence, or willful blindness on his part. Both of which should disqualify anyone from interpreting the Constitution. But yet again, he is making public comments that illustrate his total inability to read a room.
This time, in an appearance at the Judicial Conference, John sang his usual refrains about threats against members of the judiciary, again without naming Trump.
“If you have somebody who’s expressing a high degree of hostility to the court, on whatever basis … 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.”

Give someone immunity and you're surprised they misbehave.
