These Judges Ruled Against Trump -- Then Their Families Came Under Attack

As federal judges rule against the Trump administration in dozens of politically charged cases, the families of at least 11 of the jurists have been targeted with threats and harassment. The intimidation campaign has strained judges and their relatives - and legal scholars fear it could have a chilling effect on the judiciary.

This is classic fascist behavior, and MAGA is a fascist movement that supports that fascist Donald Trump.

We can tell.
You didn't comment on the Nazis making death threats against these judges for upholding the Constitution.

#10 | Posted by snoofy at 2025-05-03 01:46 PM

Why wasn't having the citizen father take the citizen children presented as an option?

#11 | Posted by snoofy at 2025-05-03 01:47 PM

"the gop allowing children to stay with their families"

Didn't happen.

#12 | Posted by snoofy at 2025-05-03 01:48 PM

"you bitch and moan for years about the gop breaking up famlies"

The GOP was breaking up families?

When did that happen, and why did the Republicans do that to families?

#14 | Posted by shrimptacodan at 2025-05-03 01:52 PM

So anyway, why didn't they let the citizen father take the citizen kids?

You think this is how we should be treating citizen children.

Snding them out of the country.

Not allowing them to remain in the country with their citizens father, as the father, the mother, and the kids wanted.

#15 | Posted by snoofy at 2025-05-03 02:00 PM

So when illegals are getting deported, you want them taking their American citizen children with them.

No citizen childen of illegals should be allowed to stay.

Got it.

Also, anyone can see that's racist A.F.

@#14 ... my comments were about the lying media and their 92% negative coverage
of trump. ...

Is the media lying, or just reporting the truth about Pres Trump?

For example, and back to the topic of this thread...

Donald Trump Rails Against Judges Despite Justice Jackson's New Warning
www.newsweek.com

... President Donald Trump has launched a fresh political attack on judges overseeing cases against his administration, just days after Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson warned of such an onslaught "undermining the rule of law."

Why It Matters

Since beginning his second term, Trump has frequently clashed with judges who have ruled against his sweeping government overhauls.

These actions have raised concerns about the erosion of judicial independence and the potential undermining of democratic norms.

What To Know

On May, 3, President Donald Trump lashed out at judges on Truth Social, saying they are blocking the deportation of violent criminals and warning that America is "finished" if such decisions continue.

His comments came after Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, speaking at a judicial conference on May 1, warned of "relentless attacks" on judges, and an environment of harassment that "ultimately risks undermining our Constitution and the rule of law."

Jackson said the attacks appear aimed at undermining judicial independence"something she described as essential to a functioning democracy. "A society in which judges are routinely made to fear for their own safety or livelihood... is one that has substantially departed from the norms" of a democratic system, she said. ...

why didn't they let the citizen father take the citizen kids?

They were divorced, and he didn't not have rights to custody. The mother signed a document stating she was taking the daughter of her own freewill.
My guess would be she didn't like the father, and didn't see that as an alternative.

The father probably didn't want them either, as he was going to pawn her off on his sisters in San Antonio, and not actually raise the daughter.

But then, hey you & judges, know better how a 2yo should live, not that you'd take care of her or anything.

@3 ... Where's the Republicans who were clutching their pearls when there was a person exercising their Second Amendment rights in Alito's neighborhood? ...

Possibly making threats against the Judges who rules against Pres Trump?

7 days ago " The toddler was apparently sent to Honduras with her mother and 11-year-old sister..."

You're intent on not addressing why the citizen father was prevented from taking his citizen children.

And here I thought you gooners supported Men's Rights.

The government deported a citizens child without his consent and you are cheering for it.

The real question is, why are these judges aiding and abetting illegal alien criminals?

That's easy.
It's because of the Constitution you hate.
