Every kid on the playgrounds knew that if you showed fear before bullies, they’d be stealing your lunch money next.
Much has been written this week about the pro-abortionists’ plans to picket the homes of the six Republican-appointed justices over the egregiously leaked Alito draft overturning Roe v. Wade. Those criticisms, which I summarize below, are certainly valid. If we had an attorney general who cared about enforcing the law, he’d seek injunctive relief and criminal penalties for such conduct. If AG Merrick Garland fails to do so, the attorney general of Virginia, Jason S. Miyares, may step in to preclude any such protests in his state. But I think the rowdies got their ideas from Chief Justice Roberts’s strange role in the ObamaCare case mandate challenge and in the Left's success in rampaging and terrorizing the country after the death in custody of George Floyd.
When I want a good legal analysis, one of the first places I turn to is the Volokh Conspiracy, and in particular, the lucid and persuasive analyses by Professor Eugene Volokh. This week he explains why picketing the judges’ residence with the intent to influence them violates federal law. (And the intent is to influence, obviously because this is just a draft, not a final, opinion.)
The relevant statute is 18 U.S.C. Sec.1507 which reads:
1. Whoever, with the intent of interfering with, obstructing, or impeding the administration of justice, or
2. with the intent of influencing any judge, juror, witness, or court officer, in the discharge of his duty,
3. pickets or parades in or near a building housing a court of the United States, or
4. in or near a building or residence occupied or used by such judge, juror, witness, or court officer, or

Where is Wokie Garland?
Your Clarice ping.
You know, if counter demonstrators showed up and peacefully protested the woke mob, the counter demonstrators would be arrested in minutes and tried for terrorism, while the woke mob would get away with any violence.
Pocahontas is cheering them on for sure...
The pro-abortion crowd (Planned Parenthood, Democrats, etc.) don’t care about the women not being able to get an abortion. They don’t care about healthcare for women, which abortion is NOT. They don’t care about women’s so-called right to murder their children.
Abortion is a huge cash cow. They can’t afford to lose the profits made on baby parts. That’s why they fight so hard to keep it legal. That’s why they fight so hard to keep counselors and others from trying to talk the women out of the abortion.
Laws. What a joke. We have soooo many laws but we don’t enforce them. They don’t apply to dems.
Laws are for the little people.
Judges deserve special protection.
There are lots of people who have reasons to hate judges.
If they could intimidate judges at will, there would be no law!

I want to be very clear about something:
Everyone knows those Antifa are breaking federal law by showing up at judges’ homes...
And nothing will happen to them, bc they are the street thugs of the regime.
You got prosecuted for refusing to wear a mask on a plane but they can intimidate Supreme Court justices’ families and will be celebrated
This is how you know we are living under a regime.

Well that’s frightening.
Sadly, my tagline has come to pass. The Republic is in danger of eternal collapse if this is not stopped.
WTH is THAT??? That is NOT a HUMAN!
You really didn't expect Traitorgarland and his DOJ collaborators to prosecute their friends, Antifa, did you?!?
I couldn’t agree with you more.

Notice the silence is violence from POTUS on this issue, from the WH, and from those in elected positions of power who are supposed to uphold the laws; they want violence and by their silence they endorce these attacks.
For the last 4 decades the left has been using every interest group it could attract—feminists, pro-aborts, trans, gays, blacks, Muslims, anarchists, academia, unions— to undermine the stability of the US.
These groups are too enamored of the attention they receive to understand that the moment the left has control they will all be cast aside.
The proof of this is Gavin Newsome’s gaffe this week— Gavin Newsom savagely mocked as ‘disgusting transphobe’ for claiming men can’t get pregnant at abortion rally
Ask yourself: if climate change is a real concern, why do the elites own beachfront property? Why do banks make loans on those properties? Why do companies insure them? Because it’s all lies. It is all and only about Marxist leftist power and control. Everything is for the power of the left.
And, here is a *protester* likely proving they're really there, to get their $oros $$....
