Chief Justice John Roberts is wary of entering political fray, his top adviser says [View all]

MEMPHIS, Tennessee — When Chief Justice John Roberts released his annual year-end message last December, he lamented increasing threats against the judiciary and urged respect for court orders.

Some observers saw the message as a veiled response to President Donald Trump’s electoral victory less than two months earlier — or a warning about what Trump’s second term might hold.

But Roberts’ top aide said Wednesday that the chief justice’s New Year’s Eve missive was not prompted by the election.

Robert Dow, a federal judge who serves as counselor to Roberts, told a judicial conference here that the chief justice was instead reacting to a long-term trend of eroding esteem for the judiciary.
