It’s easy to take for granted one of our country’s greatest strengths: a legal system in which we settle our disputes peacefully in court. We do this without the type of violence, intimidation and threats against judges that occur in too many other countries.

These crowds have engaged in illegal protests outside the homes of those justices each week since the leak, in clear violation of federal and state law.
