It’s absolutely disgusting that those in charge of providing justice and peace and protecting law abiding citizens are some of the worse law breaking offenders.

From the article:

Jordan added. “If they can do it to us, they can do it to you.”

They did do it us, and Jim Jordan/congress were made aware of that fact in 2022. He and congress didn’t care, until they learned the they did it to him and congress too.

Allegations of improper and politically motivated enforcement of the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act against pro-life groups were prevalent during the Biden administration, leading to convictions, legal challenges, and calls for the Act’s repeal or reform. The current Trump administration has since limited the Act’s enforcement and issued pardons for convicted pro-life activists.

Disproportionate Prosecutions: Critics, including Republican lawmakers and advocacy groups like Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF), claimed the Department of Justice (DOJ) under the Biden administration disproportionately targeted pro-life individuals for non-violent actions while largely ignoring vandalism and firebombing attacks against pregnancy resource centers and churches.

Selective Application: Data presented in congressional hearings indicated that a vast majority of FACE Act cases brought by the Biden DOJ were against anti-abortion activists at abortion clinics, with far fewer cases against those who attacked pro-life facilities.

Harsh Penalties: Pro-life advocates argued the administration pursued unnecessarily harsh penalties, sometimes adding felony “conspiracy against rights” charges to standard FACE Act violations, which carry much steeper prison sentences and fines.

“Weaponization” of the DOJ: Opponents characterized the enforcement as a “weaponization” of federal law enforcement to silence political opposition and intimidate those with views contrary to the administration’s stance on abortion.
Legal and Political Responses


Congressional Action: Republican lawmakers, including Sen. Mike Lee and Rep. Chip Roy, introduced legislation to repeal the FACE Act, arguing it is unconstitutional and has been abused for political purposes.

Lawsuits: Individual activists prosecuted under the Act, such as Mark Houck, filed lawsuits against the DOJ for what they claimed were unjust and politically motivated arrests.
House Judiciary Hearings: The House Judiciary Committee held hearings to investigate the alleged bias in the DOJ’s enforcement of the Act, featuring testimony from convicted activists and legal experts.


Recent Developments (Trump Administration)
Effective January 24, 2025, the new leadership at the Department of Justice under President Trump ordered prosecutors to cease new abortion-related FACE Act actions except in “extraordinary circumstances” involving death or serious property damage.

The Trump administration:
Dismissed three pending civil FACE Act cases.
Pardoned 23 individuals convicted of FACE Act violations under Biden.

The corruption in Washington DC has reached historic proportions. I wouldn’t be surprised if DemonKKKrats were being paid by the Drug Cartels that are killing thousands of our nation’s kids.

Watergate and the consequences of that event, prison for many, and the resignation of Nixon, were on scale a nothing compared to what the democrats have been up to. The trick has been to do the very same on a system wide operation involving tens of thousands of bureaucrats, politicians, appointees, and consultants. The scale so big, it’s impossible to sort out as each agency runs interference for the other.
