It was the judiciary she was talking about. More from the link

It gets worse, she said, noting that death threats against judges are
increasing. It doesn't help, she said, when a high-profile senator suggests
there may be a connection between violence against judges and decisions
that the senator disagrees with. She didn't name him, but it was Texas
senator John Cornyn who made that statement, after a Georgia judge was
murdered in the courtroom and the family of a federal judge in Illinois
murdered in the judge's home. O'Connor observed that there have been a lot
of suggestions lately for so-called judicial reforms, recommendations for
the massive impeachment of judges, stripping the courts of jurisdiction and
cutting judicial budgets to punish offending judges. Any of these might be
debatable, she said, as long as they are not retaliation for decisions that
political leaders disagree with.
