The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Judges Fear for Their Safety Amid a Wave of Threats

What Happened: Federal judges increasingly face threats and intimidation, particularly those overseeing cases challenging Trump’s policies. Recent incidents include bomb threats, swatting attacks, and doxxing of judges' family members. Trump’s call to impeach Judge James Boasberg, who ruled against his deportation policy, sparked online attacks, with some Trump allies targeting his family.

Why It Matters: Trump’s attacks on judges fuel threats and endanger judicial independence. Legal experts warn of a chilling effect on the courts and the risk of real-world violence. This is how authoritarian regimes silence the judiciary.
