In his year-end review, Chief Justice John Roberts emphasized threats to judicial independence, warning against violence, intimidation, disinformation, and public backlash against judges.
Roberts noted that not all criticism of judicial decisions is legitimate, stating, "I feel compelled to address four areas of illegitimate activity that, in my view, do threaten the independence of judges."
The Chief Justice highlighted modern forms of intimidation, pointing out, "Today, in the computer era, intimidation can take different forms. Disappointed litigants rage at judicial decisions on the Internet."
