Ed. note<\/u>: Welcome to our daily feature, Quote of the Day<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n

It\u2019s very alarming to think that all we\u2019re doing is our job, and we have to fear. We should not have to fear that. We don\u2019t want judges worried about the decisions that they\u2019ll make in any particular case. It\u2019s not fair to the litigants, it\u2019s not fair to the system.<\/em><\/strong> \u2026<\/p>\n

We shall get through this moment. We just need to be empowered and emboldened to just stay the course and do our job. The republic is safe as long as the court doors remain open.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u2014 Judge J. Michelle Childs<\/a>\u00a0of the D.C. Circuit, in comments given while speaking on a panel of judges on a National Constitution Center podcast<\/a>, concerning an \u201calarming\u201d unsolicited pizza delivery at her home. As noted by Bloomberg Law<\/a>, Childs was part of an appellate panel that rejected Donald Trump\u2019s claims that he ought to be immune from criminal prosecution. According to the U.S. Marshals Service, threats against judges who have ruled against the Trump administration are increasing, and several of those judges have also received these anonymous pizza deliveries.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n
