Judges Receiving Anonymous Pizza Deliveries: A Dangerous Trend Threatening the Judiciary
Durbin urges Department of Justice to investigate anonymous pizza deliveries to judges' residences
According to Mark Levin on 'Life, Liberty & Levin,' we're facing a concerning trend where federal judges and their families are receiving anonymous pizza deliveries at their homes. These deliveries aren't just threatening the judges' personal safety, but they're also endangering judicial independence and the rule of law.
Recently, Senator Dick Durbin, the Ranking Member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, has requested investigations into this matter. He's been pushing Attorney General Pam Bondi, Kash Patel, and the FBI to provide information on any steps taken to protect judges and their families, as well as to prevent further anonymous deliveries and other threats.
Durbin's concern is based on incidents involving Supreme Court justices, judges handling cases involving the current administration, and even the children of judges. The most shocking of these cases is the use of the name of Daniel Anderl, the son of U.S. District Judge Esther Salas, who was murdered in 2020 by a former litigant posing as a delivery person.
Senator Durbin has expressed his concern about the reduced size of the U.S. Marshals Service (USMS), a crucial agency responsible for protecting the federal judiciary and the judicial process. He's urged to commit to fully supporting the USMS and maintaining or increasing its current number of employees, stating that it's inappropriate and unacceptable to reduce the size of the agency at a time when threats of violence against judges are on the rise.
In addition to Judge Salas, other judges, such as Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett and J. Michelle Childs of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, have reported receiving strange pizza deliveries as well. These incidents have been said to increase the threat and intimidation against the judiciary, posing a serious threat to judicial independence and the rule of law.
As of now, the DOJ and the FBI haven't provided extensive comments on the matter, but they've acknowledged the reports and promised to address them. It's crucial that these investigations are conducted promptly to ensure the safety of our judges and the continuity of our legal system.
It's essential to remember that our judiciary system relies heavily on the independence and impartiality of our judges. Threats and intimidation will not only endanger their personal safety but also undermine the trust in our legal system. So let's stand together to ensure the protection of our judges, the judiciary, and the rule of law.
