Summary
Chief Justice John Roberts defended the judiciary against “illegitimate” attacks undermining its independence in his year-end report, citing violence, intimidation, disinformation, and defiance of rulings as critical threats.
He highlighted a rise in threats against judges, referencing protests following the overturning of Roe v. Wade and scrutiny over alleged ethics lapses, particularly involving Justice Clarence Thomas.
Roberts criticized political rhetoric questioning judicial impartiality and social media disinformation.
He also warned against political calls to ignore court decisions, emphasizing the need to uphold judicial authority amid ongoing controversies over recent rulings.
