Back in 2022, a man was charged with attempted murder after traveling to Maryland with the intent of assassinating Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh:
A California man armed with a handgun who planned to kill Brett Kavanaugh was charged with attempted murder on Wednesday after being arrested near the U.S. Supreme Court justice's Maryland home, voicing dismay about expected rulings curtailing abortion access and expanding gun rights, authorities said.
The man, identified as 26-year-old Nicholas Roske of the Los Angeles suburb of Simi Valley, was carrying a handgun he had purchased for the purpose of killing Kavanaugh as well as ammunition, a crow bar, pepper spray and other items, according to an affidavit signed by an FBI agent.
And that's just one example of the kind of rhetoric from the Left that has led to this:
The Supreme Court has asked Congress for additional funding to boost security, including 33 new positions to deal with “evolving risks” and threats to the nine justices. https://t.co/F0g4tP63Pz pic.twitter.com/IocOMikliB

The report talks about "threats to the nine justices" but it sure seems that in the fairly recent past the threat has mostly been against conservatives:
The Supreme Court has asked Congress for an extra $19.4 million for security to deal with “evolving risks” and a change in how the justices’ homes are protected, according to the office that administers the federal courts system.
The office’s 2025 budget request for the Supreme Court includes 33 new positions to boost protection for the nine justices as threats against the judiciary have increased in recent years.
“Ongoing threat assessments indicated that there are evolving risks that require continuous protection,” the Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts wrote in its request to Congress.
The number of questions I'm seeing Democrats get about stories like this is ZERO, even though everybody knows why those threats have come to fruition:

Shameless career politicians like Chuck Schumer would like you to believe people like Donald Trump are a threat to our norms and institutions, and it's 100 percent pure projection:
Speaking of “evolving risks,” remember when Chuck Schumer threatened Justices Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh?

There is no bigger, more dangerous POS in Washington than Chuck Schumer, and that's a high, er, bar, to clear.
This is the world the Biden people have made.

The rhetoric from Schumer and other Democrats also led to wacko protesters showing up at Supreme Court justices' private residences:
I have little doubt that if these protests were at the homes of the leftist judges they would have been swept off the street rather quickly. Instead, the Court is asking Congress to spend a lot more money to protect justices from nut cases who have been whipped into a frenzy by irresponsible Democrats who don't care who's harmed by their demagoguery and desperation to stay in power. If anything, the DNC should be made to pay for the extra security, not U.S. taxpayers.
