The Department of Justice is remaining silent on continued protests by abortion activists outside conservative Supreme Court justices' homes, despite a federal law that makes it illegal to attempt to "influence" federal officials and the outcome of a court case.
The pro-abortion protestors are targeting the private homes of the six Republican-appointed justices after the leak last week of a draft opinion signaled the Supreme Court intends to overturn landmark abortion case Roe v. Wade.
Federal U.S. code 1507, states that any individual who "pickets or parades" with the "intent of interfering with, obstructing, or impeding the administration of justice, or with the intent of influencing any judge, juror, witness, or court officer" near a U.S. court or "near a building or residence occupied or used by such judge, juror, witness, or court officer" will be fined, or "imprisoned not more than one year, or both."
Despite the language included in the federal statute, Attorney General Merrick Garland has not issued a public statement addressing the protests outside conservative justices' homes. And the Department of Justice (DOJ) did not respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment on Garland's silence and the reason why protestors have not been arrested.
According to senior fellow at the National Review Institute and Fox News contributor Andy McCarthy, the Biden DOJ is being silent on this for the same reason as the White House: "They are elevating their political interest in portraying the draft Supreme Court opinion as extreme over their constitutional duty to execute the laws faithfully and protect both the Court and the justices."

Of course DOJ is silent. Did anyone think the rats would be held accountable? Not a chance. Sucks.
That’s what “ANYBODY BUT TRUMP” will get you.
The politicization of the justice system is complete. Selective enforcement of the law, shakedowns of business by tort attorneys and the DOJ, activist judges who interpret their own feelings into law; race based outcomes in prosecution, sentencing and punishment; plea bargains to avoid jury trial or force the innocent to plead guilty; court and shopping by social activist plaintiff; law schools teaching the interpretive evolution of the Constitution; arbitrary denial of due process and presumption of innocence to defendants by judges and prosecutors; rogue law enforcement agents fabricating evidence; the nationalizing of specific trials by the media and politicians to advance political social justice objectives (George Floyd); the breaking of attorney/client privilege; the failure of the bar to disbar unethical attorneys; and the use of mob violence to pressure judicial outcomes have made a mockery of the concept of equal justice and have destroyed the public’s trust in the justice system.
Without a fair and impartially administered legal system corruption, anarchy and tyranny reign.
When legal options fail through corruption, the people are left only with extra-legal options.
If this country is to survive, the response to this lawlessness will have to be very ugly.
No society can long survive anarchy and lawlessness.
We live in a country with a criminal government.
the DO”J” supports Treason, Sedition, Child Rape,
and witness murder. Shameless as the FIB in its
endless treason and ignoring of their Oaths.
Correct. When the government ignores the law, so will the people. It's amok time.
When breaking a couple Federal Laws is a big fat MEH! but be assured, if they had been Jan 6th protestors, they be hunted to the ends of the Earth..../s

The White House’s position is to literally encourage people to break federal and state laws.
