Ketanji Brown Jackson condemns Trump Rhetoric “to intimidate the judiciary” | Ketanji Brown Jackson

The judge Ketanji Brown Jackson in the United States The US Court of Justice sentenced the Trump government's attacks on the judiciary in a cutting speech at a judicial conference on Thursday evening.

Without mentioning Donald Trump, Jackson spoke of “the elephant in the room” and the rhetoric from the White House “to intimidate the judiciary”.

“In the whole nation, the judges are not only an increased threat from physical violence, but also professional retaliation just because they do our work,” said Jackson according to the New York Times. “And the attacks are not accidental. They seem to intimidate those of us that serve in this critical capacity.”

The comments of the judiciary are the most direct criticism of the Trump government by a judge of the Supreme Court, since the U.Solste Richter John Roberts presented the Trump government in March for the effort of a federal judge. Jackson made the comments at a judicial conference in Puerto Rico.

The federal judges have declared that the Trump administration had failed to commit court commands in relation to foreign help, federal expenditure and the dismissal of government employees. The administration denies that it opposed the judges, but critically critically about orders and judges who blocked their actions.

The judges have also come under pressure to deport migrants in Trump's campaign, as in Wisconsin, where a judge was arrested after helping an immigrant to avoid the federal authorities. Local judges have the idea of ​​signing migrants in local court buildings, of which they say they undermine public security.

“The threats and harassment are attacks on our democracy, our government system. And ultimately they risk undermining our constitution and the rule of law,” said Jackson.

Jackson asked her colleagues to show “raw material” to continue their work. “I ask you to continue, continue to do what is right for our country, and I believe that the story will confirm its service,” she said, according to politico.

The Supreme Court has a conservative majority of 6-3.
