BLISTERING Report Details Rising Threats Against Judges in Trump Era

Stephen Spaulding of the Brennan Center for Justice joins Court Accountability Action's Alex Aronson to discuss the Brennan Center's report, Protecting Judges from Rising Threats, which examines the escalating threats, harassment, and intimidation directed at federal judges and their families. Drawing on interviews with sitting and retired federal judges, they explore the factors contributing to this increasingly hostile environment, the consequences for judicial independence and the rule of law, and the reforms needed to strengthen judicial security and ensure judges can carry out their constitutional responsibilities without fear of intimidation.
