“The courts of the Supreme Court should be able to perform their work without fear of intimidation, harm or violence against them or their families,” Blackburn said in a statement introducing measures, protection of the law on judges of the Supreme Court. This “will hold back the intimidation of our judges and send a clear message that anyone who is trying to harm them will be punished in full,” she said.

The comment, which Sumer’s subsequently departed, renewed among the renewed control over judicial safety issues during Biden administration after 2022 impregnated the draft conclusion that signals the overturning Roe v. Wade.
