A federal judge expressed concern about the anger and threats she has faced. This is related to the removal of trees at a golf course in Washington. The trees were cut down as part of efforts to renovate the course.

The judge's comments came during a hearing that was supposed to focus on the case's schedule. Instead, the discussion centered on the tree removal. Opponents of the renovation initially objected to the tree cutting, but eventually accepted the government's explanation that it was done for routine reasons.

Further details about the case and the judge's comments are available from the source, including the judge's remarks about the irony of the situation.
