Raskin: Without Judges Independence, We Can’t Enforce the Constitution Against This Lawlessness from the Trump Admin

‘A bunch of the justices and judges have received pizzas sent to their home, which is a thinly veiled warning that we know where you are and where your family lives’

RUSH EXCERPT:
RASKIN: "Well, the vilification and the demonization of these judges comes at a time when there are rising death threats and violent threats being made not just against federal judges, but against their families, too. Justice Amy Coney Barrett’s sister got a death threat sent to her. A bunch of the justices and judges have received pizzas sent to their home, which is a thinly veiled warning that we know where you are and where your family lives. And so this question of security is essential. One of the key things that we’ve got to do in Congress is to guarantee the physical security of the judges, so we can have the independence of the judicial Branch. Without independence of the judges. We don’t have the rule of law, and we can’t enforce the Constitution against this parade of lawlessness."
