One would think that a president who had suffered two murder attempts would be especially sensitive to the possible threats faced by other public officials. No Donald Trump. Worse, he takes threats against others.
So it was that, just after 7 in the morning on Monday, on the day of the fallen, the commander in chief expelled 174 words on his cell phone, not one of which paid tribute to the Americans who lost their lives in the service of the nation. No, Trump went to his greeting on the “happy day of the fallen” (who says that?) “For everyone, including scum … trying to destroy our country.” His totally capitalized rule (I am dispensing with the hats) made it clear to whom he referred: as usual, predecessor and boxing bag Joe Biden (“an incompetent president”), but mainly federal judges, including some of his own named, who have overwhelming has been ruling against Its power takes numerous demands that involve tariffs, federal expenses, appointments, compensation against lawyer firm and Universities and migrant deportations.
Specifically referring to the judges who have stopped their efforts without law to disappear non -citizen unconditions to foreign prisons and detention centers, Trump wrote that these “judges who hate the US. UU.” They are in a mission of keeping the murderers, drug traffickers, rapists, gang members and prisoners around the world, in our country so that they can steal, kill and violate again. ” “.” They are “monsters who want our country to go to hell.”
And we are discussing Biden's stability and mental acuity?
Such deranged attacks, more pronounced than Trump Anti-Courts diatts of the past years, should not be discarded as simply Trump as Trump. Yes, he is undermining the faith of Americans in the judicial system. But the danger is more immediate.
The day after the Day of Trump's Fallen Day, a New York Times history He led with this: “Threats against federal judges have increased dramatically since President Trump assumed the position.” At that time, not only Trump but also his vice president, attorney general and other sucks in his administration and Congress have regularly level the sides against the judges, often by name, and requested their policies. It is not unthinkable that Trump's unstable supporters can take the matter in their own hands.
Certainly, some judges find it thinking. Other Disturbing report, too small He appeared days before at the Wall Street Journal: federal judges are considering forming their own armed security force. Why would they do that, could ask, since the Judiciary receives protection from the US sheriff service? Well, federal sheriffs report Atty. Gen. Pam Bondi, a Trump loyal that is convicted “deranged” The judges who have had the recklessness of governing against him. That remains asking if they cannot trust marshals for their safety. According to reports, some jurists took their concerns to the president of the Supreme Court, John G. Roberts Jr.,
The Marshals service itself was the source of the New York Times report on the threats to the judges, although their data were delivered to the newspaper by a federal lawyer who, tragically, knows worse than the threats: the American district judge Esther Salas of New Jersey. In 2020, the 20 -year -old son was delicate and her husband critically wounded in her house for bullets that a disturbed lawyer intended for her: “a lazy and incompetent Latin judge appointed by Obama,” The lawyer had written.
Salas said the federal bailiffs have told him 103 cases in which recently unknown people sent pizzas to the judges. Message: We know where you live. Guano, 20 were delivered in the name of his dead son. On Wednesday, I was in MSNBC “begging, supplying” political leaders who disagree with judicial decisions to do so in a responsible manner, to stop “villains.” Salas did not appoint Trump, he didn't have to do it, but J. Michael LuttigA former federal judge of the Court of Appeals that appeared next to her, did not stop.
Luttig, a conservative luminaire who was on the brief list of President George W. Bush for the Supreme Court, asked the President of the Supreme Court Roberts to condemn the invective against the judges with more force, and punctantly, and pointed that He has to date. Roberts's problem, suggested Luttig, “is to condemn him is to condemn the president of the United States. As far as he is concerned, that it is.”
Yes, so it is.
Other administration actions are disconcerting judges. In April Federal Agents arrested A Wisconsin judge for allegedly obstructing his apprehension of an unauthorized immigrant who appears in his courtroom, a warning to other officials, Bondi stressed, not interfering with the repression of administration administration. In addition, Trump has taken the bipartisan abuse of the power to forgive dozens of times Already, not counting your Day 1 Clemence orders For almost 1,600 uprooters who assaulted the Capitol on January 6, 2021.
Only this week, in what the Washington Post called a “Clemency Spree” Triumph forgivenAmong others: a virginia sheriff with a bass -condemned magic reclaimed). A former reality shows sentenced for tax evasion and mass bank fraud (“both prosecutors were democrats,” his daughter told Fox News, who spoke at the National Republican Convention of 2024). A former elderly home executive who declared himself guilty of tax crimes and employees of bilking (his mother recently Cenado With Trump in Mar-A-Lago, for a donation of $ 1 million. And a former republican member of the Congress condemned for corruption, the legislator of the ninth party will be so favored.
Meanwhile, the president was caused to the new anger, this time by a panel of three judges of the International Trade Court of the United States. Those appointed by Presidents Obama, Reagan and, yes, Trump on Wednesday unanimously found that its signature rate “exceeds any authority granted to the President.” (An Appeals Court on Thursday He temporarily stayed The failure, leaving the tariffs instead while the dispute continues).
“Is it purely a hatred of 'Trump?'” Trump fulminated On social networks on Thursday night about the decision of “disorders.” “
No, it is simply the respect of three judges by law. These days, that requires more courage than ever.
