You are right on that. Roberts is not the first to be threatened. Just saw a great clip yesterday by an insider who said that the Clintons were threatened not to make public the issue of Obama’s eligibility. (Person alleges they shot Kenneth Gwaltney, a friend of the Clintons, and then threatened to kill Chelsea.) And I'm convinced that many of the judges who threw out the eligibility issue on ridiculous grounds were also threatened. How do you save a republic where this goes on regularly?

How do you save a republic where this goes on regularly?

Fight back that's how. Fight back dammit. Fight fire with fire if necessary. But never give in to these miscreants. Never.

Someone used The Godfather analogy earlier. I'll take it one further. Remember what Michael Corleone did to Tessio, Barzini, Moe Greene and Tattaglia? He never forgot who was behind the hit on his father and he paid them all back. And Roth too.

You give in to this kind of strong arming, they own you.
