Can the US Supreme Court stay independent?

美国最高法院在面临法官日益受到威胁的背景下，其独立性正遭受侵蚀。宪法法学教授及前美国助理检察官 Kim Wehle 指出，针对法官的此类威胁正在破坏法治的基础 [1]。Wehle 警告称，如果司法公正不再基于法律本身，而是取决于对个人的忠诚或意识形态，那么民主制度将面临风险 [1]。

Kim Wehle, a former U.S. Assistant Attorney General and constitutional law professor [1], warns that threats against judges are eroding the foundation of the rule of law in America [1]. She argues that if judicial fairness becomes based on loyalty to individuals or ideology rather than the law itself, democracy faces significant risks [1].
