'they point elsewhere' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot tell whether it can be defined by this definition.

'irate judges suppress new chapter' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'irate' could be 'cross' (I've seen this before) and 'cross' is present in the answer.
'new' could be 'n' (common abbreviation eg NT for New Testament) and 'n' is present in the answer.
'chapter' could be 'c' (abbreviation) and 'c' is present in the answer.
'judges' could be 'referees' (refereeing is a kind of judging) and 'referees' is found within the leftover letters.
No letters remain.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
