Judge Diane Goodstein's Home Burns to Ground After Ruling Against Trump
Source: Newsweek
Published Oct 06, 2025 at 03:21 AM EDT updated Oct 06, 2025 at 05:11 AM EDT
The home of a South Carolina judge was destroyed after it went up in flames on Saturday.
A fire engulfed the home of Judge Diane Goodstein, who serves on the state Circuit Court, and led to three people being hospitalized with injuries, including her husband, per The Post and Courier. The cause of the fire is not immediately known, and the State Law Enforcement Division (SLED) said it is investigating the incident. Newsweek contacted SLED via email on Monday outside regular working hours.
Why It Matters
The fire comes weeks after Goodstein issued a ruling against the Trump administration.
Authorities have not yet determined the cause of the blaze, and there is currently no evidence to suggest it was an act of arson. Still, it has sparked conversation about online hostility toward members of the judiciary who rule against Trump and his allies.

Not just the news, but all our Democratic politicians should be saying " This is what Trump has wrought."

In the current political environment it is not a stretch to think that it was not an accident.

The media is in on it. Have been all of my life. Once a very unpopular stance but now accepted.
