    “It went from judges getting pizzas, to then judges’ children getting pizzas, to then judges getting pizzas or their children getting pizzas that they didn’t order in my murdered son’s name,” Salas said. […] “We know the first is, ‘I know where you live.’ Second is, ‘We know where your children live.’ And the third now is, ‘Do you want to end up like Judge Salas? Do you want to end up like Daniel?’”

    Bad headline, WaPo. “Judges say” is pointless. There’s simply no other explanation. Somebody is saying, “I know where you live.”

    If the judges themselves have come to that conclusion, then I think in this case it’s worth including in the headline. It’s not like “Chris Rock says unsolicited pizza deliveries to judges is meant to intimidate them.”

    They are legal authorities, not just commentators, or journalists editorializing.

      That’s a stretch. Judges rule on matters to determine the limits of the law. If a judge says “It looks like rain today,” that’s not setting legal precedent for the weather to follow.

      Exactly: judges won’t start standing up against Trump until they start getting more threatening pizzas from non-MAGAs than they do from MAGAs.
