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 Become Targets in Combative Political Environment

What Happened: Trump and his sycophants are escalating attacks on the judiciary, branding unfavorable rulings as illegitimate and pushing for the impeachment of judges who rule against him. Attorney General Pam Bondi’s team and Musk have openly threatened judicial independence while Trump allies in Congress have introduced legislation to limit the courts’ power. Judges warn that these attacks are fueling threats and intimidation.

Why It Matters: This is an authoritarian attack on the judiciary—Trump is trying to dismantle one of the last remaining checks on his power. By threatening judges and undermining court rulings, he’s moving toward a system where legal accountability no longer exists for him or his cronies.
