What’s at stake
When judges face threats, harassment, or political pressure, the entire justice system is compromised. Federal and state judges across America are experiencing an unprecedented surge in intimidation; not for wrongdoing, but simply for doing their jobs.
“Violence, intimidation and defiance directed at judges because of their work undermine our Republic, and are wholly unacceptable.”
— Chief Justice John Roberts
