Quote[edit]
- No doubt the Danes who protected the Jews in WWII are spinning in their graves.
- 21 February 2014 referencing Elliott Abrams' story about banning circumcision without consent to babies
- Trump’s anti-Semitic attacks on American Jews keep coming
- As we saw on Jan. 6, when elected leaders defy the law, they invite their followers to do the same. Chaos reigns, the courts become powerless, and mob rule (directed by an authoritarian leader) prevails. When [Donald] Trump lambastes judges and prosecutors and promises to "weaponize" the Justice Department, judges must maintain a zero-tolerance policy for officials' (and former officials') defiance of laws and court orders and ignore their claims of persecution. Judges should continue to denounce the contempt for courts, the law and truth Republicans routinely display.
If courts do not mete out severe consequences for willful disregard of the law and attacks on the legitimacy of the courts, Trump will succeed in ripping up the foundation of our democracy. Judges simply must hold the line.- "Judges rebuke lawless MAGA Republicans. We need more of the same", The Washington Post (January 29, 2024).
- The Supreme Court of the United States had ruled against the governor of Texas Greg Abbott's installation of "life-threatening razor wire across the Rio Grande". Abbott had announced he would not allow federal agents to move or cut the wire, thus violating his oath to uphold the American constitution, after Court had said he must do so.
