President Trump’s angry call on Tuesday for the impeachment of a federal judge who ruled against his administration on deportation flights has set off a string of near-instant social media taunts and threats, including images of judges being marched off in handcuffs.

Where can we voice our support for judges?
Depends on the judge. There are corrupt ones.
The most easily identified by whether they support the current administration in any way.
Obviously the question is how can we support the judges who are being THREATENED by our fascist executive branch.
Realistically speaking, we can’t “support” them in the sense of making them safe from those threats. Not unless we’re recruiting people to volunteer to be their bodyguards, anyway.
Sadly, the most practical way to counter this would be to threaten them for not doing their jobs, but it would take a lot for such threats to counterbalance the ones from the MAGAs and, of course, we would be targeted by the regime for persecution for making them instead of protected from it.
How could we have seen this coming? /s
Where are all the 17 year old Kenosha kids chomping at the bit to grab an AR15 and stand a protective vigil in front of judges’ houses to protect them from violence and property damage?
When the various circuit courts allowed slower level judges like Canon to keep not enforcing good law on the people staging a coup, the judges allowed the Constitution to be destroyed. It’s just a piece of paper unless it’s upheld and defended.
The right wing has been undermining the federal courts for decades with unqualified ideologue appointments and this is the result. The rule of law is gone and the coup needs to remove any and all remaining opposition. It’s classic dictatorship 101 to remove judges who oppose you, both through legal and violent means. The courts failed to act as a body of law for decades and now they are in serious trouble.
Well… yeah. Thats how threats work.
When you vote for violent thugs, and enable violent thugs then violent thugs feel empowered to act like violent thugs. It’s almost as if anyone could have seen this outcome coming.
Fuck around, find out.
Should have jailed this felon when you had a chance.
Where’s the US Marshalls?
