"I don't know if there is a cause-and-effect connection but we have seen
some recent episodes of courthouse violence in this country. Certainly
nothing new, but we seem to have run through a spate of courthouse
violence recently that's been on the news and I wonder whether there may
be some connection between the perception in some quarters on some
occasions where judges are making political decisions yet are
unaccountable to the public, that it builds up and builds up and builds up
to the point where some people engage in - engage in violence."


Where does Senator Cornyn suggest that judges should be killed for handing
down decisions he doesn't like?

He doesn't, directly. He suggests that violence against judges is a
natural consequence of them making "political decisions", which is code
phrase for "decisions I don't like".

"Unaccountable to the public", but not unaccountable. The Constitution says
judges shall hold their offices during good behavior. Acting contrary to
the Constitution is clearly bad behavior.

I haven't seen any judges acting contrary to the Constitution. On the
contrary, I see them restraining the Executive and Legislative branches
from overstepping their Constitutional authority time and time again.
