Oh, So That's Why Leftists Weren't Arrested Outside the Homes of Supreme Court Justices
townhall.com ^ | May 3, 2023 | Katie Pavlich

New training documents from the U.S. Marshals Service show law enforcement agents were discouraged from arresting leftist protestors outside of the homes of Supreme Court Justices last year. The raucous protestors, who showed up in the aftermath of the Dobbs leak -- which revealed Roe v. Wade would be overturned -- repeatedly broke the law.

In a letter to U.S. Marshals Service Director Ronald Davis, House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan is revealing the details. 

"In in May 2022, some Supreme Court justices faced relentless protests at their homes, seemingly intended to influence the Court’s decision. Although federal law prohibits picketing near the residence of a federal judge with the intent to influence the judge’s official duties, recent evidence indicates that the U.S. Marshals protecting the justices were directed to 'not' conduct arrests 'unless it was absolutely necessary.' As the Supreme Court and the justices continue to face a barrage of unrelenting attacks, we write to you requesting documents and information relating to this matter," Jordan wrote. 

"During a hearing of the Senate Appropriations Committee in March 2023, Senator Katie Britt questioned Attorney General Garland regarding training materials provided to the U.S. Marshals, which reveals why there have been no arrests. Among other things, the training slides instructed Marshals 'to avoid, unless absolutely necessary, any criminal enforcement,' stated that 'making arrests and initiating prosecutions is not the goal,” that arrests of protestors should be a 'last resort' and would be 'counter-productive,'" he continued. "These directives appear to contradict Attorney General Garland’s previous statements to Congress that Marshals had 'full authority' to make arrest decisions. The directives for law enforcement to stand down are particularly troubling given the long line of recent left-wing attempts to intimidate and influence the Court."

Apparently, the “government” [Biden’s and Obama’s junta] has chosen sides in the war between Left and Right.

Yeah, heard that. what would one expect from a corrupt regime?

No one should be surprised at all. Upset, yes. But when will we get fed up? Until then we will continue to to be abused.

You don’t arrest the Brown Shirts, everyone knows that.

The Fuehrer would be displeased.

Well, add the US Marshalls to the DOD, FBI, and CIA as officers who are crooked enough to sleep in a trombone.

I remember back in the early 1970s some reporters wanted to ask a Supreme Court Justice some questions after hours. They banged on his door and he met them with “a long barreled revolver.”

Biden, Merrick, and the democrats were hoping and praying for the assassination of some scotus judges so the demented chomo can install more idiots like Breon
