I see this going badly. It’s already impossible to sue a judge for a poor ruling. How much more protection do they need? Also, if you’re afraid of your family or yourself getting hurt or killed, don’t go into the profession, simple as that. I am in a position in which I get death threats in the daily. I take anonymity seriously and have protected myself and family but I know at any time someone could come and try to murder us all. It hasn’t stopped me from doing my job. And I do have an exit strategy for when I retire to disappear.
