  • More than 100 members of the state's legal community, including four retired Supreme Court justices, implored Sens. Barrasso and Lummis and Rep. Hageman to resist "reckless disdain" for the courts.

The article from MSN discusses a letter sent by Wyoming lawyers and judges to the state's congressional delegation, urging them to condemn attacks on the judiciary. This call to action comes in the wake of former President Donald Trump's criticisms of judicial figures, particularly targeting those involved in legal proceedings against him. The letter emphasizes the importance of an independent judiciary for upholding the rule of law and democracy, highlighting that such attacks undermine public trust in the legal system. It also references historical precedents where political figures respected judicial independence, contrasting this with current political rhetoric. The signatories, including prominent legal figures from Wyoming, express concern over the potential long-term damage to the judiciary's integrity and the democratic process if these attacks continue unchecked.
