John Roberts, Chief Justice of the US Supreme Court, has taken exception to a warning issued by Schumer, an American politician and Senate Democratic leader, to two judges of the Supreme Court. Schumer had earlier said that the two judges appointed by President Trump would 'pay the price' if they voted against abortion rights. (Judicial reconsideration of Roe vs Wade is a recurrent theme in the American legal world.) (Senator Schumer has since admitted that he should not have used the words he had employed.)
Harsh Mander is playing Schumer with the Indian Supreme Court, but without any remorse. He has attributed partiality to judges of the Court on many occasions. He is in the habit of condemning some judgements for not interpreting constitutional provisions 'correctly.' The Supreme Court must come down heavily on persons like Harsh Mander who are bent upon trivialising the course of justice. Inability to accept judicial pronouncements not in accord with one's ideological predilections is an extreme case of intolerance. It is a mark of such intolerant persons to accuse others of intolerance and subversion of 'secularism'.
