In 2020, a disgruntled litigant posing as a deliveryman opened fire at the New Jersey home of District Judge Esther Salas, killing her 20-year-old son Daniel Anderl. Five years later, as President Donald Trump steps up hiscriticism of federal judges who have blocked some of his agenda, dozens of judges have had unsolicited pizzas delivered to their homes, often in Daniel Anderl’s name.
District Judge John J. McConnell, Jr. of Rhode Island, who stalled Trump’s initial round of across-the-board spending cuts, is among those who received pizzas in Anderl’s name. His courtroom also has been flooded by threatening calls, including one profanity-laced one that called for his assassination.
McConnell, Jr. played a recording of the call during an unusual discussion Thursday where multiple federal judges discussed threats they have received — a notable conversation because judges usually only speak publicly from the bench and through their rulings, and rarely if ever, about personal threats and attacks. Salas and others said the number of attacks has escalated in recent months.
Without using his name, Salas called on Trump and his allies to tone down the rhetoric and stop demonizing the judiciary, for fear of what more could happen.
“We’re used to being appealed. But keep it on the merits, stop demonizing us,” Salas said. “They’re inviting people to do us harm.”
Thursday’s event was sponsored by Speak up for Justice, a nonpartisan group supporting an independent judiciary. District Judge John C. Coughenour of Washington recalled having a police SWAT team called to his home to respond to a false report of an attack after Coughenour in January halted Trump’s executive order ending birthright citizenship for children of people in the country illegally.
District Judge Robert S. Lasnik of Washington also had pizzas delivered in Anderl’s name...

Stop trying to be President then.
My thoughts exactly!
Nothing about the abortion protests at SC homes.
“received pizzas in Anderl’s name”
Maybe some BS here. I bet 99.99% people with 100 miles of this clown have no clue who Anderl was...
Could be a MAGA type. It could also be a lunatic leftist trying to make MAGA types look bad. Unless you trace the calls and find out the owner of the phone number you HAVE NO IDEA which one it is.
Oh, you poor babies.🥲🥲🥲😭😭
If you can’t take the heat, get out of the kitchen!
Engaging in partisan politics as a judge will cause some partisan blowback.
Judge Jussie.
If this were real and not a left wing psy op there would be arrests immediately. The democrat machine is in a corner. They have nothing. They perfected the “swatting.” It is their tactic. They have a record faking crimes against themselves to gain sympathy and attack republicans. If the judges aren’t directly arranging this themselves, their allies are.
The AP probably never even reported the attempted assassination of SC Justice Kavanaugh a few years ago, which followed a lot of hateful rhetoric toward SCOTUS by leftwing politicians and others.
More AP BS. They never run out.
And not a single picture taken to capture what is alleged here. Very strange.
The country is currently in a state of Civil War. It is only at the warm point, not like the official hot point of the First Democrat-Republican War. On our side ICE agents are an obvious target. The Left has been compromised with for so long that it has finally reached the point where typical Americans have drawn the line.
Deport the judges to Gaza. I don’t think they have pizza delivery there. Inform the judges that certain “acts” could get them thrown off a tall building with no trial.
False Flag attacks. Those who do not get caught are messengers of the Political Left, posing as Conservatives.
Real Conservatives understand they will be over-charged and severely punished for any unlawful behavior against any government employees.
Boo hoo hoo.
Asspress liars defending the scum branch. I get so sick of their crap as the head of the snake.
If you want to be a judge expect threats as part of the job. If you want to be a biased, or a dishonest judge expect even more threats. It goes with the territory.
Personally I’m sick and tired of these corrupt, biased and partial judges.
I think someone once said, “You have released the whirlwind and you will pay the price. You won’t know what hit you if you go forward with these awful decisions,”
Hmmm…
This is the classic liberal template to legitimate criticism. They can call Trump a Nazi and say that we need an insurrection against him to the point where unhinged lunatics try to kill him twice. But if Trump and Republicans legitimately point out that they are overstepping their authority, we get media sob stories about how they are being threatened. Every single public person gets threatened, including death threats. Its media manipulation to focus on threats to those doing liberal bidding without putting it in the context of everyone else being threatened.
