If I were that judge I would welcome the challenge. I would be poking trolls in Xitter to come for me and my family. I would be posting selfies of myself photoshopped to look like I was railing trump from behind.

Thats easy to say. Look how many other people have already bowed over due to threats of violence from these lunatics.

Weak and selfish people. I get that not everybody has the balls to throw themselves into the gears of the machine, but imagine if you had a gun to that machine's head and you were still scared.

If my family is in the jaws of the machine, I might still be scared. I get you though. It makes me angry and I’m sure it makes you angry. We should be. At some point push comes to shove and people in these positions must make sacrifices or we all suffer the consequences. It’s a difficult position, and I don’t envy the judge or anyone else in a similar one.

And then have to worry about a mistrial, a Turnip presidency, and retribution

I definitely exagerated. I just wanted to drive home how inconsequential threats of death SHOULD be in this case. If anything they should be encouragement to do the right thing.
