Let them be especually when she's head down in a book.

Clarifications aside, you're of course correct. In spite of the massive long-term impacts a radical supreme court justice can have (from any point of the political/social spectrum), wishing one dead comes across as a wish for the destruction of the entire concept of American lawful society. In spite of supreme court decisions that I think are utterly destructive to the US and against the constitution that those judges are supposed to uphold, I strongly prefer our current system to having a king, religious oligarchy, military "protectorship", etc etc.

ISIS has a court system too, and I prefer ours in spite of our system's bitterly divided nature.

Bless their hearts.

The First limits the GOVERNMENT's ability to restrict your speech (federal, State and Local).
