Robert P. George is a legal scholar, the McCormick Professor of Jurisprudence and Director of the James Madison Program in American Ideals and Institutions at Princeton University in New Jersey. Many other honors and degrees are listed here.
He has a number of anonymous twitter followers and asked them to identify themselves, only to learn that they didn't dare. Why? Same situation that Karlyn Borysenko (here and here) discovered: a bullying, shaming environment.
Many of them are academics, some even tenured professors who expect that their tenure could be stripped from them.
“Is this the country we now live in?” George asked. “One in which many people feel they must hide their beliefs in order to keep their jobs or maintain their careers? One in which people live in fear of speaking their minds — worrying for their futures and their families' well-being if they do?”
