Article – Washington Post: This federal judge ruled against Trump. Then the threats began. 

The Washington Post profiled U.S. District Judge John McConnell, who, like other federal judges across the country who have ruled against the Trump administration, is navigating “a wave of threats unlike anything” he has previously experienced. Since the beginning of last year, McConnell has “received credible death threats. A MAGA activist doxed his daughter. Two Republicans in Congress started impeachment proceedings against him. An insurance company even canceled McConnell’s homeowner’s policy (the insured party was too risky, the firm indicated, with an attached link to one impeachment effort).” The Washington Post noted that “McConnell’s experience is not unique. In recent years, federal judges and Supreme Court justices have faced increasing risks to their safety.” McConnell told the Post that “he was heartened by statements by Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr., who has said criticism of judges as individuals – rather than of their rulings – is ‘not appropriate.’”
