After Supreme Court term, Chief Justice Roberts shrugs off ‘venting' by those who lost
Speaking a day after the Supreme Court ended its term with a burst of high-profile decisions, Chief Justice John Roberts on Saturday warned 'political people' against criticizing judges and shrugged off critics if they are 'venting' just because they lost. Without addressing the court's blockbuster decisions, including the high-profile ruling limiting the power of courts to act as a check on President Donald Trump, Roberts stressed the importance of an independent judiciary and warned against politicians expressing hostility toward jurists. 'I've been compelled over the past few years to make statements about people on one side of the aisle – their views on judges – and on the other side,' Roberts told a conference of judges meeting in Charlotte, North Carolina. 'It becomes wrapped up in the political dispute that a judge who's doing his or her job is part of the problem.' A few months ago, an audience listening to Roberts' remarks might have read a subtle message about Trump between those lines. In March, the chief justice issued a striking statement pushing back on White House talking points that increasingly targeted judges – including with threats to impeach those who ruled against Trump. But more recently, Roberts and his conservative colleagues on the court have given the president far more reasons to celebrate than complain. The most significant example of that landed Friday, when a 6-3 majority backed Trump in his months-long fight over nationwide court orders that have paused many of his controversial executive orders. Democrats and left-leaning groups decried that ruling on Friday, arguing it kneecapped the ability of courts to stop a president's policy even if it violates the law. 'The danger, of course, is somebody might pick up on that, and we have had, of course, serious threats of violence and murder of judges just simply for doing their work,' said Roberts, who was speaking to a conference organized by the 4th US Circuit Court of Appeals. 'I think the political people on both sides of the aisle need to keep that in mind.' Speaking with Judge Albert Diaz, the chief judge of the 4th Circuit, Roberts recognized that the court had dealt with with six major cases on its final day – more than usual. In addition to the ruling on nationwide injunctions, the court also sided with religious parents who want to opt their children out of reading LGBTQ books in schools and upheld a Texas law that requires age verification for pornographic websites. 'Things were a little crunched toward the end this year,' Roberts said, suggesting the court might 'try to space it out a little better next year, I suppose.' Taking criticism over the court's opinions, Roberts said, is par for the course. But the chief justice also said that 'usually' such criticism has more to do with the fact that a party lost rather than any sense they didn't get a fair hearing. 'It's not the judge's fault that a correct interpretation of the law meant that, no, you don't get to do this,' Roberts said. 'If it's just venting because you lost, then that's not terribly helpful.'

Biden, Harris and Walz attend funeral of Democratic lawmaker assassinated in Minnesota alongside her husband
Former President Joe Biden, former Vice President Kamala Harris, and Minnesota Governor Tim Walz sat front row at the funeral service for slain lawmaker Melissa Hortman and her husband Mark. The private service at the Basilica of Saint Mary in Minneapolis, which was livestreamed Saturday, saw the Hortmans and their dog, Gilbert, laid to rest. The former Minnesota House Speaker and her husband were shot and killed in their Brooklyn Park home on June 14 in a targeted attack linked to a broader plot against state Democratic officials. Dressed as a police officer, suspected shooter Vance Boelter, 57, allegedly killed the Hortmans and severely injured Democratic state Sen. John Hoffman and his wife, Yvette, in a separate attack that night. He has been charged with state and federal crimes. Gilbert, the Hortman's golden retriever, was also injured in the attack and later euthanized. His urn sat in the middle of their caskets on Friday in the rotunda of the Capitol building in St. Paul, which Biden visited. The former president also spoke with an emotional group after viewing the caskets on Friday. The Hortmans are survived by their adult children, Sophie and Colin Hortman, Mark's parents, J. Carroll Hortman and Ruth Russell-Stern, and Melissa's parents, Harry and Linda Haluptzok. Walz was the first to deliver his eulogy, Llghtheartedly starting his speech, 'I was standing here looking at the Speaker's rostrum, and I asked where I'm supposed to speak. Melissa would have been quick to remind me, 'One day out of the year, you speak at the Speaker's rostrum, and only at my invitation.' So I know my place.' 'Melissa Hortman will be remembered as the most consequential speaker in Minnesota history. I get to remember her as a close friend, a mentor, and the most talented legislator I've ever known,' Walz added. Walz continued, 'Admittedly, I never talked much politics to Mark. I tried and got a tech tip from him, but we mostly bonded over our love of that sweet, sweet 80s music. He truly appreciated.' Family friend, attorney Robin Ann Williams, shared a humorous story about Melissa Hortman agonizing over 15 nearly identical beige paint samples for her kitchen. 'Mark and Melissa were colorful people in many ways, but their kitchen is, to this day, beige,' Williams said. Colin Hortman, joined by his fiancée, closed the ceremony with a prayer.

‘No one' excited about Kamala Harris' potential gubernatorial run, say California donors
Former Vice President Kamala Harris' prospective gubernatorial bid is not striking up much excitement among Democratic fundraisers in California, Politico reported Friday. The outlet spoke to multiple Democratic Party donors in California to see how they felt about Harris possibly running for governor. So far, her interest in exploring a gubernatorial run in the state following her 2024 presidential election loss hasn't enthused many. "She still would probably lead, but honestly, no one is incredibly pumped," one Southern California fundraiser told Politico. Republicans Use Mamdani Bombshell Victory Over Cuomo As Ammunition To Blast Democrats As Extremists Harris, who lost November's election to President Donald Trump, is seriously considering a 2026 bid to succeed term-limited Gov. Gavin Newsom, D-Calif. A source close to Harris told Fox News Digital in March that she has told allies she will decide by the end of summer on whether to launch a gubernatorial campaign. The two potential options for Harris are launching a gubernatorial run next year in her home state or seeking the presidency again in 2028. Extremely early polls in the next Democratic Party presidential nomination race — which are heavily reliant on name recognition at this point — indicate that the former vice president holds a significant lead over other potential White House contenders. Read On The Fox News App "In interviews, several major donors in the state told POLITICO they fear her reemergence as a candidate would re-open still-fresh wounds from her defeat in 2024," the outlet reported. "Some harbor lingering frustration about how her billion-dollar campaign juggernaut ended in debt and want assurances she would have a clear plan to win the governor's mansion." Top Trump Ally Teases Bid For California Governor If Harris Runs Mather Martin, a party fundraiser from San Francisco who worked for multiple Harris campaigns, told Politico, "There was more enthusiasm at first" for Harris' run. However, he added, "I think it waned a bit." Another donor who gave a six-figure donation to Harris' presidential campaign last year told the outlet they had found the implosion of her White House bid "traumatizing" and seemed reluctant to support her in the state. "Kamala just reminds you we are in this complete s--- storm. With Biden, we got bamboozled… I think she did the best she could in that situation, but obviously she knew about the cognitive decline too. I've written so many checks because I knew the Trump administration would be horrible, but we're living in a nightmare because of the Democrats. I'm furious at them, truly." The donor who declared that "no one is incredibly pumped" about Harris' run also shared that donors "realize it's just going to bring up the whole pathetic last presidential, which no one wants to hear about again. And then it's the whole 'Did you know Joe Biden?' thing." Click Here For More Coverage Of Media And Culture Scott Drexel, a donor-adviser based in the San Francisco Bay Area, noted, "It's very fair to say there's not an overwhelming clamor" for Harris' gubernatorial run. He also pointed out, "It's very hard for there to be one if it's not 100 percent clear if she really wants to do it." "She's going to have to work for the nomination. Every day that passes, there's less of a sense of inevitability about her candidacy," Drexel said. Democratic donor and San Francisco trial lawyer Joe Cotchett told Politico, "She is talking to people around the state about whether she is going to run. If she does, she's going to have very difficult problems." Harris' team did not immediately reply to Fox News Digital's request for comment.
