In a series of rare interviews with NBC News, the judges discussed a pattern of the Supreme Court overturning lower court decisions by way of emergency rulings which, they say, used to be rare but have become increasingly common. The Trump administration has asked the Supreme Court to issue an emergency ruling in 23 cases, and the Court has sided with them in 17 of those instances often with little or no explanation to back their decisions.

It becomes wrapped up in the political dispute that a judge who's doing his or her job is part of the problem. And the danger, of course, is somebody might pick up on that.

Roberts stated that political rhetoric against judges can lead to serious threats or violence, stressing the need for caution from elected officials.
