Elena Kagan: “For some of us, those threats have come very close, and all of us live with the knowledge that they may again…”

Criticism is fair game, but intimidation is a different thing entirely.

The Supreme Court police expect a smaller but still very substantial 38% annual increase in threats this year, which follows a 25% increase last year.

I don't see this as a court that is just like, 'We're just going to rubber stamp what the current administration does.' You know, quite the opposite.

You just have to deal with the fact that there's a conservative court doing things that conservative jurists have long thought it appropriate to do, and I can really dislike that.
