A lot of left-wing politicians are deeply upset about the recent draft decision to overturn Roe v. Wade by the Supreme Court.
The activists are organizing under the moniker “Ruth Sent Us” and have published the supposed home addresses of Justices Amy Coney Barrett, John Roberts, Samuel Alito, Brett Kavanaugh, Clarence Thomas and Neil Gorsuch.
“Our 6-3 extremist Supreme Court routinely issues rulings that hurt women, racial minorities, LGBTQ+ and immigrant rights,” the group’s website reads. “We must rise up to force accountability using a diversity of tactics.”
Fox News reported there has been a strong police presence at the justices’ homes following the leak. The group says they will visit the homes on May 11.
The D.C. Police Department has erected fencing around the Supreme Court building in anticipation of escalating protests this weekend. Police have also activated protest-response units through Sunday.
The move comes after a draft copy of Justice Samuel Alito’s opinion upholding a Mississippi abortion law leaked to Politico. The decision would overturn Roe v. Wade if adopted by four other justices.
Chief Justice John Roberts described the leak as a “betrayal” of the court on Tuesday and ordered an investigation into the incident.
Republicans on Capitol Hill have also expressed outrage over the nearly unprecedented leak, while Democrats have sounded the alarms in defense of abortion.
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell called for the leaker to be prosecuted, saying the move was a transparent attempt to subvert the court’s ruling.
“Somebody, likely somebody inside the court itself, leaked a confidential brief to the press, to stir up a pressure campaign,” McConnell, R-Ky., said. “Whoever committed this lawless act knew exactly what it could bring about.”
These people are truly ignorant! No one is taking away their rights to an abortion – all it would do is to move it from federal oversight back to the states where it belongs.
I agree with you. But it will sure make a great stump speech for November. Democratic party needs some big issue to get their base out to vote. They just did it!!! Game on!
Someone check their credentials, see how many lawyers are in the group.
“McConnell called for the leaker to be prosecuted, saying the move was a transparent attempt to subvert the court’s ruling.” Its a shame he isn’t so passionate about those that tried to stop the electoral verification count on Jan 6th!!! Seems to me that they were subverting too, and the risks were much bigger than abortion!
Not only are you absolutely on the mark, but this is the best comment I have read in quite some time. Kudos.
Congress didn’t need to get involved in that – the FBI went all over the USA arresting folks some of whom were held on misdemeanors without bail for weeks. Prosecutors were going for maximum prison sentences as well. Not one gun was found among the January 6 crowd. Think that’s how trying to “influence” SC Justices with mob rule will be handled by the FBI and others????
Sorry, as a gay male I still don’t agree with the whiney LGBTQ idiots that I unfortunately get corraled in with. They have immoral agendas, disgusting representation of human beings and I don’t nor have I ever needed to stand by the leftist snowflakes. I have lived fifty four years without having a problem and will continue to my dying day. I refuse to be part of the gutter trash that makes up a good portion, not all, of that group. May the left go down the tubes in flames! None of them have a shred of decency, ethics, or integrity!
when the libs protest lets see if they all get arrested and are never released, after they break into the court grounds. they wont arrest anyone, because the leaders are homeland security and FBI leaders, plus the DC cops.
You DON’T have a right to Kill your Baby. If you don’t want to get Pregnant, keep your Legs Together. Try Swallowing.
What are they protesting? Are they upset that the federal government will no longer support them killing children or is it that Ruth Bader Ginsburg said this decision lies with the states and not the federal government. They are angry that she said the Court got the RoevWade decision wrong? Take it up with her, not the current Justices.
Hey ! Liberals don’t know how to keep their LEGS Together. They want everyone to see what they have between them. No back peddling here !
How is this different from Americans demonstrating outside the Capitol and then walking in, not beating on the doors as Chuck had them doing on a previous dispute he had with the Supreme Court. NO BODY is supposed to stir up a mob to try to influence Supreme Court Justices!! Will the FBI and malicious prosecutors go all over the country and arrest them – sometimes for misdemeanors and hold them in jail with out bail and then try to send them to prison???
