> Delaware attorney Meghan Kelly argues that judges at every level—from the trial bench to the Supreme Court—may be facing improper political pressure, raising questions about whether recent landmark rulings and ongoing proceedings can be insulated from threats or retaliation.

Calling them out in an official capacity. Idk if it’ll go anywhere but you still love to see it.

If true, this is a five-alarm fire for democracy. Judicial independence means rulings are based on the law and the Constitution, not on which justice received the most credible death threats. The moment we accept that intimidation shapes the highest court’s decisions, the entire system becomes just another extension of raw power politics.

Of course they’re based on threats because everybody knows just how violent the Democratic Party is and their supporters. God bless the Supreme Court, god bless America, and god bless Israel.

Not just threat, but GOP has since around Obama specifically worked on replacing judges on all levels with Federalist judges.

Well, Alito and Thomas are political hacks as part of their primal nature, threats notwithstanding. Thomas had to be bribed to stay in place, courtesy of Harlan Crow.

They are public figures and they can be threatened/bribed. I’d prefer not to think they’re making decisions based on who’s paying them or who’s pointing a gun at their puppy, but it’s more than reasonable to assume they’re not exactly following the law when making the law.

There’s a reason the police and military are hyper targeted by right wing propaganda. Not only is there the implicit threat of violence/coup from the very same Men With Guns but there’s also very little will and motivation to investigate and prosecute terroristic threats when the ideologies are aligned.
