From WSJopinion: The actual threat to democratic norms is the left’s onslaught on the legitimacy of the Supreme Court.
A protester holds up an image of late Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg outside of the Supreme Court during a demonstration, Washington, D.C., May 5.The latest theme on the political left is that the Supreme Court Justices who might overturnwould merely return abortion policy to the states for political debate in elections and legislatures. That’s the definition of democracy.
Everyone has the right to protest, but assailing the families of judges at home is a blatant attempt at intimidation. If the leaker wanted to mobilize public hostility to the Court, he is succeeding. He was referring to Justices Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh. Chief Justice John Roberts publicly rebuked Mr. Schumer, but what did he mean by “the whirlwind”?
The threats against the Court are enough that a fence has gone up around the Supreme Court building, and new security has been laid on. A violent act by a fanatic can’t be ruled out, and this warrants the attention of Attorney General Merrick Garland. Federal law makes it a crime to threaten federal judges, and that includes threats of vigilantism.
