She does not say that you have to accept them quietly, but that you have to accept them respectfully. There's a critical difference. Calling for the deaths of the justices was what she criticized as a threat to judicial Independence.

Who are you or anyone else to demand that I respect an abusive blackrobe when they abuse our long constitutional traditions?

Judges need not fear the people, tyrants should.

I don't request diddly-squat. I could care less what you think. The office of a judge, however, inherently demands respect. "Render honor to whom honor is due."

Disagree with any judge as much as you like. Heaven knows we all do. They don't even agree amongst themselves. But, while disagreeing, show a modicum of respect for people who have studied the law and are really trying their best to rule justly.
