NBC News gave a dozen federal judges an anonymous platform on Thursday to harshly attack the Supreme Court’s handling of cases revolving around President Donald Trump’s agenda.
In the article, “In rare interviews, federal judges criticize Supreme Court’s handling of Trump cases,” NBC News cited 12 judges who were “frustrated” that the highest court continues to overturn lower court rulings in favor of Trump “with little to no explanation.” Ten of those judges accused the justices of behaving inexcusably” by allegedly “assisting” the administration.
The piece, written by Lawrence Hurley, lamented how some judges are receiving threats of violence because the administration allegedly targets any judge when they rule in a way they do not like. One of the anonymous judges who said he is receiving death threats warned that somebody “will die.”
“When judges issue rulings the Trump administration does not like, they are frequently targeted by influential figures in MAGA world and sometimes Trump himself, who called for a judge who ruled against him in a high-profile immigration case to be impeached. White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller has said the administration is the victim of a ‘judicial coup.'” the article states. “The judge who said the Supreme Court justices are behaving inexcusably has received threats of violence and is now fearful when someone knocks on the door at home.”
“If major efforts are not made to address the situation, the judge said, ‘somebody is going to die,'” the article said, citing the anonymous judge.
