Chief Justice complains about threats to judges
To the Editor of the New York Times:
In his year-end report on the federal judiciary, Chief Justice John Roberts decries the threat to judges posed by “an unstable individual carrying a cache of weapons.”
Does the chief justice think that the threat of gun violence today is unique to judges? Thanks to the Supreme Court’s radical interpretation of the Second Amendment, this same risk is shared by all Americans, including — and perhaps especially — young children in school.
The Supreme Court should address these concerns by overturning District of Columbia v. Heller, not by complaining that the justices must share the same concerns about gun violence that the court has imposed on the rest of us.
