The Supreme Court has been under attack since the 2020 election, with protests outside the homes of judges, an unprecedented leak, and now scrutiny in the professions of family members. SCOTUS released its report earlier this month into who might have leaked the draft opinion by Justice Samuel Alito concerning returning the question of abortion back to the states. The report did not find the leak, but one lawmaker has expressed an opinion on the matter.Now there is a question about the professional work of one of the justices’ wives. U.S. Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts’s wife could face...

Assassin was apparently named "Sophie" and made the wrong choice.

While the purple-haired set was screaming out their impotent rage, the more astute observers of American politics were predicting that this was exactly what the Democrat Party needed to offset the vicious mismanagement of the nation at the hands of Joe Biden. If Americans were torqued about “supply chain” breakdowns, no baby formula (Joe Biden Invokes Defense Production Act to Try to Fix the Baby Formula Shortage His Henchmen Created), gas increasing by $3/gallon in 18 months, and businesses crushed by COVID lockdowns, by gosh, the very thing to take their mind off that string of catastrophes was the right...

The Department of Homeland Security is now warning Catholic churches and pro-life pregnancy centers to be prepared for a “night of rage” by pro-abortion terrorist groups if Roe v Wade gets overturned by the Supreme Court. ...... Snip...... "These targets could include public gatherings, faith-based institutions, schools, racial, ethnic, and religious minorities, government facilities and personnel, U.S. critical infrastructure, the media, and perceived ideological opponents.”

Lawmakers are sounding alarms about more violence at Republican Party offices and pro-life organizations across the country if the Supreme Court overturns Roe v. Wade. Attacks on offices tied to the Republican National Committee, GOP lawmakers, and pro-life groups have begun in anticipation of the ruling, including attacks this week where vandals spray-painted slogans and smashed windows. “We should be concerned,” said Rep. Thomas Massie, Kentucky Republican. “Democrats here need to come out and speak against the violence.” The vandalism and violence began after a leaked opinion last month showed the Supreme Court was set to overturn the landmark 1973...

The radical pro-abortion group, Jane’s Revenge, is planning more acts of domestic terrorism when the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision on Roe v. Wade is revealed, dubbed a “Night of Rage: An Autonomous Call to Action Against Patriarchal Supremacy.” The group posted its plans on the Anarchists Library website at the end of May in expectation of the ruling, expected sometime in June.

The attempted assassination of Justice Brett Kavanaugh makes it abundantly clear that Chief Justice John Roberts is playing with fire in refusing to issue the Court’s majority opinion in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, the case that could potentially overturn Roe v. Wade. The potential for someone to make an attempt on a justice’s life was predictable once the draft majority opinion, in a shocking move, was leaked—but the threat appears more serious in the wake of a deranged person having arrived at Kavanaugh’s home with the stated intention, and with weapons in tow, to kill him. It is...

Friday is the day that the radical pro-abortion group Jane's Revenge warned us about. When the group took credit for the firebombing of the headquarters for Wisconsin Family Action last month, they also issued a warning that emphasized that what happened in Wisconsin was "only a warning" and called it "the first flashpoint, but we are all over the US and we will issue no further warnings." The statement also read that "We demand the disbanding of all anti-choice establishments, fake clinics, and violent anti-choice groups within the next thirty days." That attack took place sometime between late in the...

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez self-hyped her effort to block a Senate-approved bill that would step up security protections for Supreme Court justices and their immediate family members Thursday — a day after an armed man was arrested for attempting to murder Justice Brett Kavanaugh. The Bronx Democrat posted a video on her Instagram feed of her running up the steps to the Capitol so she could be present on the House floor to stop a unanimous consent request by House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) to move the measure. In a subsequent video, the “Squad” member claimed McCarthy was trying to...

House Democrats on Wednesday stalled a bill that would have provided additional security for Supreme Court Justices on the same day a man was arrested for attempting to murder Justice Brett Kavanaugh. House Republican Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) made a unanimous consent request on the House floor to bring up S. 4160 for a vote. S. 4160, which passed the Senate by a unanimous vote, would have allocated additional security for the justices’ family members. Despite McCarthy’s request, Speaker Pelosi and the Democrats failed to comply with McCarthy’s proposal to bring the bill to vote.

How newsworthy is it that, shortly after 1 a.m. Wednesday, a man dressed in black, carrying a knapsack containing ammunition, a gun, and the kind of wrist-ties used in the assassination of a Wisconsin judge last week, was arrested outside the home of a United States Supreme Court Justice preparing to decide the future of Roe v. Wade?The answer, it turns out, depends on which newspaper one reads. The conservative dailies are running Californian Nicholas John Roske’s arrest for an attempt on the life of Associate Justice Brett Kavanaugh as their top stories this morning. “Incited to kill” is the...

After 100+ days of hiding from the media, His Fraudulency Joe Biden appeared on Jimmy Kimmel’s basement-rated late show and predicted a “mini-revolution” if the atrocity called Roe v. Wade is overturned by the Supreme Court. Biden’s eliminationist rhetoric about mini-revolutions came just hours after police arrested a man with a gun and burglar tools in Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh’s neighborhood. Authorities claim he was determined to murder Kavanaugh. Why? Because in a leaked document, Kavanaugh signed on to overturn Roe. Police also say the man was upset over mass shootings.

Nicolle Wallace is a disgrace. I went through the transcript of her MSNBC show yesterday multiple times. Surely, there must be something there! It beggars the imagination that a TV show devoted to political news could have failed to cover a story that broke earlier that same day--the arrest of an armed man outside the house of Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh, and who admitted that his plan was to assassinate him. But yes, as incredible as it seems, Nicolle Wallace failed to devote any time--not one second--to that story during her two hours of MSNBC airtime on yesterday's Deadline:...

Former first lady Michelle Obama urged her Instagram followers to “double down” on working to protect abortion rights in a post Thursday as the Supreme Court gets closer to ruling on an abortion rights case that could overturn Roe v. Wade. “So we’ve got to get work today. We’ve got to press our elected leaders at every level to pull every lever they can to protect the right to safe, legal abortion — right now,” Obama wrote, urging voters to back political candidates who support abortion rights. Her post comes about a month after a draft Supreme Court majority opinion...

Protesters have now descended upon the home of Justice Amy Coney Barrett and her family, including seven children. This is just a day after the alleged attempted murder of her colleague, Justice Kavanaugh.— Jonathan Turley (@JonathanTurley) June 9, 2022

ASHINGTON (AP) — When Gail Curley began her job as Marshal of the U.S. Supreme Court less than a year ago, she would have expected to work mostly behind the scenes: overseeing the court's police force and the operations of the marble-columned building where the justices work. * * * Earlier this month, however, Curley was handed a bombshell of an assignment, overseeing an unprecedented breach of Supreme Court secrecy, the leak of a draft opinion and apparent votes in a major abortion case.

Following the Supreme Court’s leak of a draft decision overturning Roe v. Wade, many Court-watchers and pundits have pointed to same-sex marriage and access to contraceptives as rights now potentially at risk. And while in the long run the logic set forth in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization could undermine those precedents, the Court may eviscerate other major areas of law far sooner—in fact, with cases on its docket this current term. Notably, the Court may soon declare the use of race in college admissions—affirmative action—illegal, and it may also massively constrain the power of the federal government to...

With respect to the left protesting at the homes of Supreme Court justices. Is it legal? I see : It is illegal to peacefully protest in front of a justice’s home. 18 U.S. Code § 1507 - Picketing or parading https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/1507 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...

Pro-abortion protesters marched to the homes of Supreme Court Justices John Roberts and Brett Kavanaugh Saturday night for a "Candlelight vigil for Roe v. Wade." The protest began at a local café in Chevy Chase before they began their march to the homes of Roberts and Kavanaugh, with a flyer for the event stating that they will protest outside the houses "for reproductive freedom." Protesters can be heard chanting "Keep abortion safe and legal" during the protest. Images of coat hangers could also be seen chalked on the street where the march took place. A left-wing group called ShutDown DC...

Former Attorney General Bill Barr suggested a special counsel may need to be appointed to discover who released the draft Supreme Court decision overturning Roe v. Wade and said the leaker could potentially be charged with obstruction of justice. Chief Justice John Roberts has ordered the marshal of the court to begin an investigation to discover who leaked Justice Samuel Alito’s ruling striking down the landmark 1973 decision, but Barr said that might not be enough.
