Abstract

The idea that politicians would intimidate judges, that judges or their families would be murdered for their rulings, or that deadly mob violence might erupt in response to particular decisions all seemed the province of other countries, places that lack democracy or the rule of law. But all of these things have happened in the United States, in just the past few years.
