Supreme Court Justices may be fearing for their lives after Donald Trump's response to their legal smackdown, according to a Jan. 6 investigator.

Temidayo Aganga-Williams, an attorney who served as an investigator for the House Jan. 6 committee, appeared on MS NOW over the weekend, where he was asked about Trump's response to the Supreme Court ruling that limited the president's power to tack on new tariffs on a whim.

According to Aganga-Williams, Trump went personal because he nominated these justices. But there could be dangerous consequences, he warned.

"It's always about the person. And here I think what's stark is that he cannot hide behind who appointed them. These are folks that he appointed, that he picked, that he shook their hands and nominated them and espoused how great they are. And even they came down against him. So he has to go down to attacking them personally, which I think is incredibly, incredibly dangerous because it's one thing to say a judge got it wrong," the lawyer said. "When you attack the person, you suggest that the way to rectify this is with that person. And in a world of political violence, I think we get closer and closer to teaching the American people that what they have to do to rectify their needs is not go through institutions, but instead something far more dangerous. And I think that's the path we're down."

1. This was predictable when the Roberts 6 gave Trump immunity.

Trump has no qualms about unleashing his flying monkeys on SCOTUS.

2. If not Trump directly executing his 'enemies', he will indirectly encourage his followers to do it.

Heading into Donald Trump’s latest congressional appearance on Tuesday night, he has already thoroughly lashed out at Friday’s tariffs ruling against him and — in dehumanizing terms — the justices behind it. Now, just a few days after the decision, he’ll come face to face with whichever justices decide to show up to the House chamber of the Capitol.....

Roberts authored the tariffs ruling, joined in the 6-3 bottom line by Trump appointees Barrett and Justice Neil Gorusch, as well as the court’s three Democratic appointees: Kagan and Justices Sonia Sotomayor and Ketanji Brown Jackson. On Friday, while calling the justices in the majority cowards, disgraces, traitors and embarrassments to their families, the president praised Kavanaugh, as well as Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito, who all dissented. He said the dissenters are “happily” invited to the State of the Union and that the justices in the majority are “barely” invited and he “couldn’t care less if they come.”

The court is set to issue more opinions this week, on Tuesday and Wednesday. It doesn’t announce what’s coming ahead of time, and whatever comes seems unlikely to fully overshadow the tariffs decision, but any Trump-friendly rulings on Tuesday morning would add another layer to the evening’s dynamic. Likewise, the president on Tuesday night could disparage justices who then issue a decision he might like in another case on Wednesday morning.

And while Kavanaugh has attended in recent years, the two justices who joined his tariffs dissent have not. Alito hasn’t shown up since the Citizens United year, when he was seen mouthing “not true” in response to Obama’s characterization of the ruling. A 2024 opinion piece in The Wall Street Journal that aired Alito’s dim view of the event — “We sit there like potted plants,” he said — noted that Thomas last went in 2006. Thomas said in 2010 that he doesn’t go “because it has become so partisan.”
