GOP pressures AG Garland to ‘enforce the law’ for Supreme Court Justice protesters
Republican Congresswoman Claudia Tenney of New York is challenging Attorney General Merrick Garland to enforce the law and hold citizens accountable for targeting the homes of Supreme Court Justices.
Liberals and leftwing politicians have praised an unknown whistleblower for leaking a draft of the Supreme Court’s decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization suggesting a potential plan by the conservative judges to overturn the 1973 Roe v. Wade decision that protected the right to abortion before fetus viability in the U.S.
18 U.S.C. § 1507 prohibits picketing or parading outside a judge’s home to influence them in the discharge of their official duties.

Activists published a map with the addresses to the homes of the conservative justices, resulting in mass hysteria and protests at the judges homes.
Rep. Tenney tweeted the letter to Attorney General Garland, signed by herself and five other congressmen. “I led my colleagues in asking AG Garland a simple question: as Supreme Court Justices are being targeted, do you intend to enforce the law?”
“The failure of this Admin to act is a shameless & implicit endorsement of mob rule. The right to peaceful assembly is among our most sacred rights as Americans, but this right does not permit us to intimidate judges, jurors or officers of the court” added Rep. Tenney.
Chicago’s Democrat Mayor Lori Lightfoot encouraged individuals to protest the justices at their homes and tweeted a “call to arms” word of encouragement.
“To my friends in the LGBTQ+ community — the Supreme Court is coming for us next. This moment has to be a call to arms,” the Chicago mayor tweeted.
The White House also has not condemned the protests nor encouraged the activists to halt their protests. No matter how many Democrats support the protests, the fact of the matter remains: 18 U.S.C. § 1507 prohibits picketing or parading outside a judge’s home to influence them in the discharge of their official duties.
To my friends in the LGBTQ+ community—the Supreme Court is coming for us next. This moment has to be a call to arms.

Former President and current Republican Presidential Candidate Donald Trump, has been indicted and is facing 37 counts in connection with his alleged mishandling of classified documents. The 49-page document was unsealed Friday.
The indictment contains charges of the following: Willful retention of national defense information, conspiracy to obstruct justice, withholding a document or record, corruptly concealing a document or record, concealing a document in a federal investigation, scheme to conceal, and making false statements and representations.
Trump announced the indictment Thursday night on Truth Social, his social media platform:
“The corrupt Biden Administration has informed my attorneys that I have been Indicted, seemingly over the Boxes Hoax, even though Joe Biden has 1850 Boxes at the University of Delaware, additional Boxes in Chinatown, D.C., with even more Boxes at the University of Pennsylvania, and documents strewn all over his garage floor where he parks his Corvette, and which is ‘secured’ by only a garage door that is paper thin, and open much of the time.”
Trump declared himself an “INNOCENT MAN” and the subject of the “Greatest Witch Hunt of all time.” The Biden administration, he claimed, is ‘TOTALLY CORRUPT.”
The former president has argued that all the documents in question were declassified when he left the White House. “You’re the president of the United States, you can declassify just by saying it’s declassified, even by thinking about it,” he told Fox News host Sean Hannity in an interview last year.
Trump was on to Biden's deep corruption re Ukraine and wanted it investigated, so they impeached him.
Now that many of Biden's crimes are being exposed, naturally they're going to indict Trump again.

Watching the demonstrators in yards of justices, they are junkyard people! Crude beyond words so mentally sick we can only wonder how soros found them. It would take far more than a year behind bars to rehab them even in school, with a routine of work study and exercize. One if them said Amy Cimy Barrett, mother if five “ doesn’t know what its like to be pregnant”! They claearly do not read or write. Appear ti be in drugs

Pressure Garland to enforce the law? Why? If he is failing to follow his oath of office do a very public impeachment.

Democrats DO NOT FOLLOW THE LAW unless they can benefit from it. Such is the case here for ALL to see. Beatle-Juice Lightfoot should be prosecuted on Federal charges for incitement as well aas those in D.C. who also advocate such wrongful and illegal conduct/behavior. I can vividly see why Merrick Garland WAS NOT confirmed as a SCJ (Supreme Court Justice). Democrats and their “Far-Left” cronies are making a mockery of the United States of America and NO ONE IS PUTING A STOP TO IT…..!!

Enforcing the law is not optional.

Our country started going astray when the executive branch started only enforcing laws that someone there thought important. This was most obvious to me under Hussein Obama. And now, they’ve added executive orders and Justice is treating them as law. When you refuse to enforce the will of the people, you’re going to go off the rails.
