Retired Judges Tour to Defend Judicial Independence Amid Rising Threats
- The 'Justice in Motion' tour marks the nation's 250th anniversary and aims to raise awareness about the dangers facing judicial independence.
- Judges report a significant increase in threats against federal judges, with the U.S. Marshals Service noting 564 threats in the last fiscal year, up from 509 the previous year.
- The initiative draws inspiration from a similar campaign in Poland, focusing on educating the public about the importance of judicial independence.
