I see your point. "First class" is loaded, but I don't this is just about risk. That's evident in the content of the law and in both judge Salas' explanation for it.

"The federal government has a responsibility to protect all federal judges because our safety is foundational to our great democracy"

Indeed it is. It's not just about likelihood of an attack occurring. It's about potential consequences. Killing judges is destabilizing... both directly and via reaction. They are an actually weakening to the governing system as a whole.

We do actually have totally separate ways of protecting elected officials, including unique laws. They are, essentially, "first class citizens." It's because attacks are likely and because the consequences of such attacks are dangerous.

That said, I sympathize with the OP. Separate laws for the specific protection of certain classes of citizens is well... also relevant to the foundations of democracies. Why can't these protections^ be extended to everyone?
