A conservative group is suing the U.S. Department of Justice for refusing to explain why it won’t enforce a federal law forbidding what the group called “the recent intimidatory protests carried out by radical abortion supporters” outside the homes of conservative Supreme Court justices in connection with the reversal of Roe v. Wade earlier this year.
Raucous protests began at the homes of the six right-leaning justices in Maryland and Virginia in the wake of the unprecedented May 2 leak of a draft opinion foreshadowing the court’s June 24 decision to overturn the 1973 Roe v. Wade abortion precedent, and escalated after the ruling itself was issued.
Nicholas John Roske was arrested on June 8 for his alleged plan to assassinate Justice Brett Kavanaugh at his Maryland home. Roske reportedly said he wanted to kill Kavanaugh to prevent him from voting to overturn abortion rights and gun control laws.
Section 1507 of Title 18 of the U.S. Code makes it unlawful to picket or parade at or near a residence of a judge with the intent of “influencing any judge … in the discharge of his duty.” Violators face up to a year in prison, a fine, or both. The section has been challenged in previous legal proceedings but has survived constitutional scrutiny.
The case, Heritage Foundation v. Department of Justice, court file 22-cv-3102, was filed on Oct. 12 in U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia.
The Heritage Foundation’s Oversight Project filed suit, claiming the DOJ has refused to provide documents requested under the Freedom of Information Act explaining why it won’t enforce Section 1507. Heritage said its demands for records from various DOJ offices, including the Office of the Attorney General, Office of Legal Counsel, the FBI, and the U.S. Marshals Service weren’t complied with.
“The Biden DOJ’s silence on these radical protests and obviously intimidating tactics was, and remains to be, deafening,” Roman Jankowski, senior investigative counsel for the Oversight Project, said in a statement.
“The American people deserve to know why Joe Biden and Attorney General Merrick Garland not only refused to publicly and unequivocally condemn this behavior, but also why they continue not to prosecute or hold accountable those who facially broke the law in an attempt to influence the proceedings of the Supreme Court. We think there are answers to those questions in the documents we have requested, and we have a right by law to those documents.”
On May 10, then-White House press secretary Jen Psaki refused to condemn the protests while insisting that the president supports “peaceful protest.”
Supreme Court Marshal Gail Curley, who is responsible for court security, wrote letters to Maryland officials on July 1 demanding they do more to protect justices whose lives have been threatened, as The Epoch Times previously reported. Curley urged officials to have the Maryland State Police enforce state law, citing 3-904(c) of the Maryland Criminal Code, which provides a person “may not intentionally assemble with another in a manner that disrupts a person’s right to tranquility in the person’s home.”
Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan, a Republican, and Montgomery County, Maryland, Executive Marc Elrich, a Democrat, sharply rebuked Curley, saying it’s the federal government’s job to protect the justices.
Hogan’s press secretary, Michael Ricci, replied to Curley on Twitter, accusing her of being misinformed and of providing “conflicting information.”
Ricci tweeted, “Had the marshal taken time to explore the matter, she would have learned that the constitutionality of the statute cited in her letter has been questioned by the Maryland Attorney General’s Office.”
But when pressed repeatedly, the office of state Attorney General Brian Frosh, a Democrat who isn’t seeking reelection in next month’s elections, has refused to confirm that it holds the view that the Maryland criminal law is unconstitutional.

(Natural News) For a majority of Americans, the right to life is sacrosanct, but for some reason, taking unborn life is a priority for Democrats and their voters, and nowhere is the practice going to be more prolific than in California. Once a state that offered a new life and promise to millions, California has become the death capital … [Read More...]

(Natural News) Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has proven once again why he is the heir-apparent to the ‘MAGA’ movement that Donald Trump has built once the former president finally retires from the political scene.
Last week the GOP governor suspended a state attorney after he publicly pledged not to enforce Florida’s 15-week ban on abortions and then sent in law enforcement officers to ensure that he left office.

(Natural News) The View‘s Elisabeth Hasselbeck found herself in yet another moral dispute with co-host Whoopi Goldberg, who told Hasselbeck that she believes God gave women freedom of choice when it comes to abortion.
After Hasselbeck explained her views about pregnancy and unborn human life, defending the traditional pro-life position, Whoopi interjected that she believes much differently concerning God’s position on reproduction and the termination of a pregnancy. (Related: Earlier in the year, Whoopi, who is triple-vaxxed, supposedly “caught” covid).
“As you know, God doesn’t make mistakes,” Whoopi stated. “God made us smart enough to know when it wasn’t going to work for us. That’s the beauty of giving us freedom of choice. Because I know my relationship – you know, my relationship is always choppy with God always because I have a lot of questions.”
Hasselbeck interrupted Whoopi a few times to reiterate her point, but Whoopi continued in with her belief that God made her “smart enough to know that if there are alternatives out there that can work for me, I will investigate them.”
“But I also know God said, ‘Do unto others as you would have them do unto you,'” Whoopi went on to say. “I will not make that decision for anybody else. I don’t ever think that I can make any decision for you and your family that you are not smart enough to make for yourself. And God knows my heart, and God knows most everybody’s heart.”
During Hasselbeck’s remarks, the audience of The View was silent. After Whoopi got done speaking, loud cheers and applause were heard in the background as she added a few closing remarks before the segment ended.
“And again, before we go, let me just point out: no one at this table is not pro-life,” Whoopi added. “Nobody is happy about having to go and get an abortion. It’s not fun. It’s a tough, tough decision.”
Hasselbeck’s quick retort to this was that God has a plan and a purpose for all human life, and never intended for women to choose murdering their unborn children as an option for unwanted pregnancy.
Whoopi then responded “in love” that she respects Hasselbeck’s position, and proceeded to point viewers to Hasselbeck’s Instagram account where she said she is sure there are crisis pregnancy center and other resources there for women to look at other options beyond an abortion.
The dispute was a relatively tame one for The View‘s standards, and the discourse between the two women remained civil. Whoopi’s views are, of course, highly questionable, especially since she seemed to be speaking on behalf of God concerning the matter.
“The level of hell where these people will reside when they die is going to be unimaginable,” wrote a commenter about the segment. “Because that is surely what these demons deserve when they deign to speak of God in such a manner.”
Another wrote that it is not a God-sanctioned free will that allows women to get abortions, but rather a free will that allows them “to give themselves over to evil” by “murdering babies.”
“She will be deposited into the pit,” this person added, referring to Whoopi and others like her who believe such things.

This article may contain statements that reflect the opinion of the author
(Natural News) Efforts to prevent Kansas from becoming one of the most abortion-friendly states in the country, despite its “red” status, have failed.
Voters there overwhelmingly decided to reject Amendment 2, which would have affirmed that “there is no Kansas constitutional right to abortion or to require the government funding of abortion.”
The amendment aimed to overturn a 2019 decision by the Kansas Supreme Court declaring that the state’s constitution “enables a woman to make decisions regarding her body, health, family formation, and family life, including the decision whether to continue a pregnancy.”
That same year, the Kansas legislature passed a law banning second-trimester abortions, as well as another law pertaining to the health regulations of the gruesome procedure.
The Kansas Supreme Court in an overwhelming 6-1 vote decided that all of these laws violate the state Constitution. This year, efforts were made to override that decision with a vote – but they failed.
Unfortunately, the implications of the Amendment 2 vote in Kansas are nationwide. Other states may try to put forth similar ballot initiatives to decide the fate of unborn babies.
“It is not clear as to why the polls would have been so far wrong in this instance, but it is quite possible that the pro-abortion side was more energized than the pro-life side,” writes Steve Byas for The New American.
“After all, the average person, on both sides of the question, probably thinks that the U.S. Supreme Court outlawed abortion nationwide, although all their ruling did was return the matter to the states – where it belonged.”
Emily Wales of Great Plains Planned Parenthood was so excited by Amendment 2 being voted down that she issued a statement of praise and celebration for the “groundswell of grassroots support” that made it happen.
“Now, more than ever, our work continues,” she added.
Joe Biden also issued a statement – well, he bumbled through something on a teleprompter, anyway – declaring that the vote against Amendment 2 proves that “the majority of Americans agree that women should have access to abortion.”
“Listen to the will of the American people and restore the protections of Roe as federal law,” Biden added.
Laura Kelley, the Democratic governor of Kansas, was perhaps the most dramatic, stating that had Amendment 2 been passed rather than rejected, it would “throw the state back into the Dark Ages.”
There is some speculation that the wording of Amendment 2 may have been confusing to voters, who may have thought that voting against it also meant voting against abortion.
“There could also have been some confusion as to whether the yes vote or the no vote was in opposition to abortion (those who oppose abortion may have thought a no vote indicated opposition, while a yes vote was for abortion rights),” Byas writes.
“There is no doubt that the millions of dollars spent in Kansas in a massive disinformation campaign – claiming things like the Kansas Legislature was poised to ban contraception and the like – made a difference with many Kansans who naively believed such propaganda.”
Byas also warns against calls for a constitutional convention on this and other important matters because he believes that doing so would result in a deluge of “untold millions of dollars of direct propaganda, along with pressure from powerful special interests, to produce a drastically altered U.S. Constitution – or even an entirely new document.”
“State legislatures (or state conventions) would be subject to the same types of pressures,” he says, adding that abortion might easily get enshrined into any new constitutions were conventions to be held.
