Judges who ruled against Trump say harassment and threats have changed their lives
As a result of the various threats and intimidation, judges have had to adapt their daily lives, according to NBC News interviews with six sitting judges, as well as former judges and others familiar with the current threat landscape.
One judge moved house. Another had to freeze her credit cards after a security breach.
Other judges have taken actions to adapt to the changing landscape by upgrading home security systems, changing the route they drive to work and ensuring family members limit personal information they post online, according to the current and former judges.

I did a Google search of the image (I know,I should have recognized them, but I didn't). Wow did I come up with some interesting bits of information. The consensus seems to be that Ceauşescu was ill served by the sycophants that surrounded him. All painted a rosy picture of a country that was in desperate straits. To the end, he thought supporters would come to his rescue (that's what most reports state)--because he had no idea of the reality that existed for his people. Makes me think of Trump's televised Cabinet meetings, with all the kudos and ata-boys directed at him.
Wow... What a pic you have for this post. I'm a Romanian. Was born three years after the communist regime fell. Quite epic the pic. They killed em right on Christmas. They probably deserve it but Christmas...
