Irony doesn't begin to explain why pro-choice activists chose Mother's Day weekend to picket the homes of Justice Brett Kavanaugh and Chief Justice John Roberts, who appear ready to overturn Roe v. Wade.
In an age when there appear to be fewer consequences for violating moral or statutory laws, demonstrators and protesters outside the Supreme Court building seem to have violated at least two federal laws. In the abortion-at-anytime Biden administration, which refuses to enforce immigration laws, it seems unlikely these laws will be enforced.
Here are excerpts from two federal laws should the Justice Department need to be reminded of them. 18 U.S. Code 1507 "Picketing or Parading" states, "Whoever, 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, in the discharge of his duty, pickets or parades in or near a building housing a court of the United States, or in or near a building or residence occupied or used by such judge ... shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than one year, or both." (emphasis mine)
That seems clear, doesn't it? Does language mean anything, or as liberals think about the Constitution, does the law say what judges intend it to say, or wish it had said, or would have said if they had written it?
A related law, 18 U.S. Code 1503, is titled "Influencing or injuring officer or juror generally." It says in part, "Whoever corruptly, or by threats, or by any threatening letter or communication, endeavors to influence, intimidate, or impede any grand or petit juror, or office in or of any court of the United States..." can potentially be found guilty and face "imprisonment for not more than 10 years, a fine under this title, or both."
How would the Justice Department characterize demonstrations and picketing outside the homes of justices? What label under existing law would they apply to picketers and shouters outside the Supreme Court building? If protesters were not trying to intimidate and influence conservative justices, why were they there? Shouldn't the public expect laws to be enforced? They are for most average people who can be convicted by a court, spend time in prison and be forced to pay fines for violating those laws. Why is the debate about abortion and illegal immigration placed in a separate category in a government now dominated by Democrats?
The refusal to enforce laws equally has contributed to a decline in the public's trust in our institutions.
A Gallup poll showed that between 2019 and 2020 when the pandemic took hold, faith in every institution surveyed - including public schools, the presidency and Congress - dropped. Only the police showed an increase in confidence and remarkably that was when the left's "defund the police" movement was at its height.
Today's left is concerned only with outcomes that conform to their worldview. They were fine with striking down all state laws prohibiting abortion. They cheered when prayer and Bible reading were removed from public schools. Now that the shoe is on the right foot and not the left, the Court has become a pariah.
They can't have it both ways, though they are trying.
Just like all the anti-God nonsense that comes out around Easter.
The leftists have a right to peaceably assemble.
And to request that others do so too.
I was wondering the same about 2,000 Mules.
Prior that week, the hype.
Saturday, the release.
Sunday, all of conservative twitterland was Happy Mother’s Day stuff.
Monday, new week reset and the convo became about the SC justice protesters.
I would call this the Age of Unequal Justice.
If you are a Leftist the laws are unenforced.
If you are a conservative the laws enforced with an iron fist.
If you are a conservative you can be held without charges for months or years.
No, the Biden regime will not enforce laws that their supporters violate.
The American Communist Revolution is now in full flower and counter revolutionaries will be suppressed at all cost.
Normal people have Mothers and Fathers hence Mothers Day and Fathers Day
Democrats have Birthing Persons, Labor Union Teachers and Anonymous Sperm Donors
The Court overstepped proper bounds on numerous occasions.
Instead of clerks faithful to the Constitution, past Supreme Court judges acted like junta members.
Many leftists are fond of democracy, but are even more fond of wrongdoing to get their way. This becomes more common when law and order is not maintained.
We have had political prisoners in jail for more than a year for "parading" whatever the Hell that is.
There are two sacred covenants between the governed and the governing powers in a constitutional republic such as ours, and for us as the governed to consent to being governed, both of these MUST be inviolably observed to preserve the union of the governed and the governors:
If either of these are abrogated, then we can no longer have a constitutional republic.
Both of these have been violated on a regular basis. If we do not remedy this, our country will be no more.
Don’t give up and despair, Pollard. While I fully agree there are legitimate reasons to do so, it is exactly what they want you to do.
Proof of that is the blatant execution of their lawlessness. They want you to see just how lawless they can be and get away with it.
No they do not. Not outside their homes.
Also illegal outside the Court. See the law quoted above in the comments.
The biological act of giving birth makes people a mother is why. Yes, I get that there are other ways of becoming a mother.
Jim Jordan made a comment on twitter and called it "Joe Biden's FBI". Here you're using Joe Biden regime. Both are wrong. It sure wasn't Trump's FBI or regime. It's the democrat FBI, DOJ, CIA, upper .mil, IRS and every other agency and therefor, the democrat regime. You could stick a braindead sock puppet in the oval office and it would be the same. Oh wait, that's just what they did. I guess it could also be called the communist regime. Since we don't really know who's in charge and it's likely not a single person, The Collective?
Point being, we can't say anything's Biden's fault. He hardly has a clue where he is half the time. Four years of Biden, Biden, Biden is not a proper counter to the Purple Revolution we're going through that has many players. I call it the Purple Revolution because it's the same group of people that "helped" Ukraine with their Orange Revolution and right after Trump won 2016, the #RESIST people like Hillary all started wearing purple.
What we are witnessing is the complete corruption of the political, judicial and law enforcement system of this country.
LEO’s had to move Justice Alito to safe place because they could not protect him where he lived, more like they don’t want to protect him at his home because then they would have to arrest leftist.
Where were the US Marshalls and the corrupt DC police force when the mob went to Robert’s home this past weekend? Nobody on those streets called the police? Hard to believe.
Where is the outrage from the republican party when the current Speaker of the House goes to the floor and encourages the leftist to act out? Crickets!
Abortion, as A Woman’s Right To Choose, is a claim that mothers have a right to murder their daughters and sons between conception and birth.
Many on the Right also presumptively denigrate biological fathers.
Harassing people at their homes is wrong.
LOL, I hope it’s not the FIRST time!
