Following the very real threat to the life of Justice Brett Kavanaugh, Republicans are reupping their efforts to protect judges on the court and their families.
The threats are escalating, with Justice Amy Coney Barrett’s church and family now targeted.
Liberals, who constantly claim to be the good guys, are mocking them for their efforts.
Emily Brooks of The Hill has details on what the GOP is trying to do:
GOP pushes for SCOTUS security bill after arrest near Kavanaugh’s houseRepublicans are calling on the House to pass a stalled bill aimed at expanding security protection to the families of Supreme Court justices after police arrested an armed man near the home of Justice Brett Kavanaugh early Wednesday morning.The bill passed the Senate by unanimous consent last month, soon after publication of a leaked draft opinion that would overturn Roe v. Wade. The leak sparked protests outside the homes of Chief Justice John Roberts, Kavanaugh and Justice Samuel Alito, who penned the draft opinion.But the legislation has stalled in the House, where top Democrats have said that protection should also be extended to judicial clerks and staff.The 26-year-old man California man who traveled to Kavanaugh’s house told a detective that “he was upset about the leak of a recent Supreme Court draft decision regarding the right to abortion as well as the recent school shooting in Uvalde, Texas,” according to an affadavit.“This is exactly – exactly why the Senate passed legislation very shortly after the leak to enhance the protection for justices and their families,” Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) said Wednesday.
Here’s MSNBC ‘analyst’ Matthew Miller:
Republicans are proposing increased security for SCOTUS exactly as they have proposed for schools, but liberals are in too much of a rush to mock their efforts to understand this. What Republicans did not do in response to the attempted murder of Kavanaugh is urge confiscation of guns, pepper spray or the other items in the perp’s bag.
But it makes no difference to the left. Here’s washed up ‘comedian’ Patton Oswalt:
Here’s Never-Trump Cheri Jacobus:
Nancy Pelosi, who put up a wall around the Capital for weeks following J6, doesn’t see any need for special protection measures for the Supreme Court.
From the New York Post:
Huffy Pelosi insists SCOTUS not in danger after Brett Kavanaugh assassination attemptHouse Speaker Nancy Pelosi got in a huff with a reporter while insisting Thursday that Supreme Court justices have adequate protection — even after a serious bid to assassinate Justice Brett Kavanaugh at his Maryland home was foiled just a day earlier.As Pelosi left her weekly press conference, she stopped to address a reporter who shouted: “You said the justices are protected, but there was an attempt on Justice Kavanaugh’s life.”“And he’s protected,” Pelosi snapped back. “He’s protected. The justices are protected.”Congressional Republicans have urged the House to approve a Senate-passed bill that would give the nation’s leading jurists and their families the same level of security as legislators and White House officials. The Senate passed the bill by unanimous consent, but the measure has languished before the House for the past month.
Watch:
Two days ago on The Five, Dana Perino said that if Biden and Pelosi don’t get this done immediately, they are complicit in the attempt and anything that follows. She is exactly right.
