Enough of the false equivalence.

Seriously, Judges *do no do things like this*

They don't give their opinion to the media

They don't criticize how SCOTUS works

This is them breaking the emergency glass, folks

The president has made no secret of his enemies list.

But we will not be intimidated.

We will not be deterred.

We will do our jobs and continue fighting back against these attempts at retribution.
