Summary
Current and retired judges spent the week traveling by bus from the Pittsburgh suburbs to outside Detroit, publicly warning that U.S. courts are under attack.
The group said the pressure includes physical threats against judges and a rising wave of criticism from politicians and other elected officials.
Stops in town squares and Cracker Barrel restaurants underscored an unusual outreach effort by members of the judiciary and civic leaders to take that warning directly to the public.
