Chief Justice John Roberts described the rule of law as “endangered” and warned against “trashing the justices,” but speaking in Washington Monday he didn’t point fingers directly at President Donald Trump or his allies for publicly excoriating judges who’ve ruled against aspects of Trump’s agenda.

He did not mention President Donald Trump, whose attacks on the judicial system threaten the American system of governance.

Chief Justice John Roberts used his second public speech this month to address how the Supreme Court handles internal disagreement in a sharply divided political culture.
