Not really. Intimidation of judges is a key component of a corrupt and unlawful society. Simply ask anyone from Central and South America.

This sentence betrays a rather fundamental lack of understanding of the role of the Supreme Court. The SCOTUS in no way shape or form is there to represent the "will of the people". And you should be happy about this as otherwise you wouldn't have gotten desegregated schools and same sex marriage.
Quote:I'm past the point of giving a shit about the laws that protect the oligarchs of this country (the cited ones from before included). They should be intimidated at this point; the nonsense they've been pulling for the last 20+ years has gotten old.
You may be comfortable living in a society of mob rule instead of the rule of law. I most certainly am not.
