“Those materials show that the Marshals likely didn’t make any arrests because they were actively discouraged from doing so,” Britt said.

The training materials told the Marshals “to avoid, unless absolutely necessary, any criminal enforcement action involving the protestors.”

Marshals were also told, “Making arrests and initiating prosecutions is not the goal of the [Marshal Service] presence at SCOTUS residences.”

“The ‘not’ is actually italicized and underlined,” Britt noted.

The training materials said the protestors might have “a First Amendment right” to protest at the homes even though, you know, Section 1507 prohibits doing so.

Attorney General Merrick Garland told Congress that “the decision to arrest protestors lies with U.S. Marshals.” He claimed the decision was not up to the attorney general.

When confronted, Garland insisted he never saw the training materials:

I cannot help but think that this Garland character is a liar.

[Lockbox]

Some might think that the First Amendment outranks Section 1507. But, of course, the First Amendment has no standing when it comes to protests at Congress. /s

[Yo-Yo]

Who wrote the memo?

[T.B. Yoits]

...aiding and abetting criminals. Charge the DOJ and the compliant U.S. Marshals.

[MtnClimber]

What would happen if someone protested in front of the home of “The Wise Latina” justice?

[Revel]

Total corruption.

[Erik Latranyi]

The left may murder a justice this weekend.

[bray]

Why would they arrest DOJ employees in the first place?

[McGruff]

More Banana Republic evidence.

[Pollard]

and yet they’ll continue to get funded by congress

[L,TOWM]

For some SCOTUS homes, some militia protection might be in order.

If we gotta have CWII, why not have it start with a freak shoot out?

[L,TOWM]

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA

You’re funny!

[jpp113]

So Garland has handcuffed the US Marshal Service. Bet your dupa thats where Pantifa will be this weekend, on the Justices’ front lawns committing violence

[higgmeister]

I cannot help but think that this Garland character is a liar.

Garland was not confirmed or even considered for the Supreme Court and has hated our country and Conservatives ever since.

[Ann Archy]

EXACTLY! WHO wrote the MEMO??

[aquila48]

If this isn’t war I don’t know what is.

[aquila48]

There’s a way to find that out.
