Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan and Montgomery County, Maryland, Executive Marc Elrich sharply rebuked Supreme Court Marshal Gail Curley after she wrote letters to both demanding they do more to protect justices whose lives have been threatened.

Both officials say they are doing their best in difficult circumstances and that protecting the justices is primarily the responsibility of the Biden administration, which they say has fallen down on the job. They expressed displeasure with Curley, claiming she took her case to the media before contacting them.
