Chief Justice John Roberts says American public wrongly views the justices as ‘political actors’
In remarks at a judicial conference, Roberts bemoaned what he characterized as the American public’s misconceptions about the Supreme Court.

One of the things we have to do is issue decisions that are unpopular,” he said.

Those rulings, he added, are “based on our best effort to figure out what the Constitution means and how it applies.”

At a time of rising security threats against judges, Roberts repeated his concern that criticism of the judiciary should be limited to the substance of decisions and not the judges as individuals.

“As soon as that happens, that’s not appropriate, and it can lead to very serious problems,” he said.
