Where's the beef when Trump insults RBG, Sotomayer, the judge on the Stone/etc. trials, or literally any other judiciary exec Trump has attacked over the years? How about the mexican judge Trump thinks is biased due to his nationality?
Partisanship has invaded the judiciary, this is the world we live in now. Either you have a problem with all of it or you are a part of the problem as well.

Roberts did rebuke Trump in 2018 when Trump spoke of the Obama judges.
Quote:
Back in November 2018, Roberts defended the federal judiciary in a rare rebuke of comments from Trump, saying there are no “Obama judges” as the president claimed.
“We do not have Obama judges or Trump judges, Bush judges or Clinton judges,” Roberts said in a statement distributed by the Supreme Court. “What we have is an extraordinary group of dedicated judges doing their level best to do equal right to those appearing before them."

I cannot speak to why he didn't in the Sotomayor incident.
Schumer's language, to me, was on a far different level though. He cited the two judges saying they will pay, to come back and say it was about elections makes no sense since judges are not subject to election. If he had said your republican cohorts will pay, then thats the elections. Politicians know the meanings of words, and he was very specific in his threat.
