最高法院大法官 最高法院 唐纳德·特朗普
首席大法官约翰·罗伯茨警告勿对司法机构进行人身攻击，周二在一场听众面前表示，虽然对判决意见的批评是正常现象，但“针对个人的敌意”既危险又必须停止。
罗伯茨未直接提及总统唐纳德·特朗普，且一如既往地强调他所指的攻击“并非来自单一政治立场”。然而，这番告诫的背景是特朗普此前几周曾称，支持其全面关税政策的法官“令家人蒙羞”。
“问题有时在于，批评可能从对法律分析的关注转向对个人的攻击，”罗伯茨在休斯敦莱斯大学的听众面前说道，“全国各地的法官都在竭尽全力确保判决正确。如果他们做得不对，其判决意见自然会受到批评。但针对个人的敌意是危险的，必须停止。”
特朗普上周末在社交媒体发表长篇帖子，谴责法院2月份叫停其紧急关税政策的裁决。罗伯茨是该裁决的主笔者，多数意见由尼尔·戈萨奇和艾米·科尼·巴雷特两位大法官加入，而他们均由特朗普提名。
“他们公然不尊重提名他们担任美国最高职位的总统，”特朗普在Truth Social平台写道，“这个完全无能且令人尴尬的法院，并非美国开国元勋们创立的最高法院应有的样子。”
罗伯茨对特朗普的批评向来谨慎克制，即便在总统及其白宫在第二任期初期发起弹劾对其不利的下级法院法官的运动时，他也极少公开表态。一年前，首席大法官曾就总统升级的言论发表简短声明。
“两个多世纪以来，已明确弹劾不应成为对司法判决异议的应对方式，”罗伯茨在最高法院发布的声明中表示，“正常的上诉审查程序就是为此而设立的。”
周二演讲中，罗伯茨被问及他认为哪些前任首席大法官被低估。他提到了曾任总统的威廉·霍华德·塔夫脱，以及在富兰克林·D·罗斯福总统试图扩充最高法院法官人数时担任首席大法官的查尔斯·埃文斯·休斯。
值得注意的是，休斯曾致信参议院司法委员会反对这一计划，但罗伯茨表示，休斯在应对罗斯福时采取的策略比一些人期望的更为巧妙。作为历史的密切观察者，罗伯茨称许多人希望休斯“通过广播公开对抗该计划”。
“但休斯足够精明，采取了不同的策略，”罗伯茨解释道，“相反，他在幕后工作，向人们解释这会对法院的角色造成什么影响。如果休斯选择另一种立场，我认为结果可能不会那么理想。”

Chief Justice John Roberts says that hostility toward judges has ‘got to stop’

Chief Justice John Roberts warned against personal attacks on the judiciary, telling an audience Tuesday that while criticism of opinions is fair game, “personally directed hostility” is dangerous and must stop.
Roberts did not mention President Donald Trump by name and, as he so often does, he went out of his way to stress that the attacks he was referring to were coming from “not just any one political perspective.” However, the chief justice’s admonishment came weeks after Trump said that justices who ruled against his sweeping tariffs were an “embarrassment to their families.”
“The problem sometimes is that the criticism can move from a focus on legal analysis to personalities,” Roberts told an audience gathered at Rice University in Houston. “Judges around the country work very hard to get it right. And if they don’t, their opinions are subject to criticism. But personally directed hostility is dangerous and it’s got to stop.”
Trump over the weekend published a lengthy social media post decrying the court’s decision in February shutting down his emergency tariffs. Roberts wrote the decision and the majority included two justices — Neil Gorsuch and Amy Coney Barrett — who Trump nominated to the bench.
“They openly disrespect the presidents who nominate them to the highest position in the land,” Trump wrote on Truth Social. “This completely inept and embarrassing court was not what the Supreme Court of the United States was set up by our wonderful founders to be.”
Roberts has picked his spots with Trump carefully, rarely speaking out even as the president and White House pursued a campaign of impeaching lower court judges that ruled against him earlier in his second term. One year ago, the chief justice issued a brief statement aimed at the president’s escalating rhetoric.
“ For more than two centuries, it has been established that impeachment is not an appropriate response to disagreement concerning a judicial decision,” Roberts said in a statement released by the Supreme Court. “The normal appellate review process exists for that purpose.”
Speaking on Tuesday, Roberts was asked about past chief justices he believed were underappreciated. He mentioned William Howard Taft, who was also a former president, and Charles Evans Hughes, who was chief during President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s effort to add justices to the Supreme Court.
Hughes notably wrote a letter to the Senate Judiciary Committee pushing back on that idea, but Roberts suggested Hughes’ approach with FDR was more subtle than some had wanted. Roberts, a close observer of history, said many people wanted Hughes to “get on the radio” and fight the plan publicly.
But Hughes, Roberts said, was “savvy enough” to take a different approach.
“Instead, he’s working behind the scenes, explaining to people what this would do to the role of the court,” Roberts said. “If Hughes had taken the other position, again, I think that may not have come out the right way.”
