ABA President Sounds Alarm: Intensifying Attacks on US Judges and Lawyers

Attacks on US Judges and Lawyers Rise, Prompting ABA President's Urgent Plea The American Bar Association (ABA) is facing increasing attacks, prompting President William R. Bay to issue a strong call to action. In a recent video message, President Bay detailed instances of intimidation and threats directed at judges and lawyers across the United States. "As attacks on judges, lawyers and the legal profession intensify," he stated, "the fight to preserve our democracy is too important to stay silent." He cited examples of elected officials posting 'wanted' signs depicting judges and the anonymous delivery of pizzas to the homes of judges and their children. These actions, he argued, are blatant attempts to intimidate judges and undermine the rule of law. The ABA is seeking legal recourse against what they consider wrongful actions by the executive branch. President Bay's video has garnered significant attention, highlighting a growing concern about the erosion of the rule of law and the safety of legal professionals. His message serves as a reminder of the crucial role the legal profession plays in upholding democratic principles and the need for collective action to protect it.
