    Washington Court of Appeals Concurrence's >2500-Word Sharp Criticism of President Trump”></p> <p>Our current President criticizes federal judges who rule against him…. Unknown individuals have sent pizzas to federal judges’ home addresses to menace them. One pizza arrived at the home of United States District Court Judge Esther Salas under the name of Daniel Anderl, the judge’s son who was killed by a disgruntled gunman targeting Salas. Judges increasingly receive threats for rulings issued unfavorable to the presidential administration. Attacks on the judiciary impede the checks and balances intended by the framers of the United States Constitution. The sidelining of the judiciary permits rule by political power and brute force rather than by law. Other judges warn, both inside and outside the context of written rulings, of a clear and present danger to the judiciary and the rule of law by the current administration….</p> <p>In the face of violence against his adherents, the present president, instead of elevating tolerance and preaching liberty of thought and freedom of speech, weaponizes the deaths and injuries for political gain. He immediately demonizes an unidentified “them,” meant to refer to anyone who opposes his agenda. He does not then concede the existence of good people who hold liberal political views….</p> <p>I encourage Dr. Wilkinson and all Washingtonians to recognize, as this concurring opinion has, the nonpartisan nature of the First Amendment and to condemn the violations of the First Amendment by any President who bestows free speech protections only on his votaries….</p> <p> </div> </div> <!--<div class=
