Now, a year later, Justice Samuel A. Alito, Jr., has publicly said, "I personally have a pretty good idea who is responsible, but that's different from the level of proof that is needed to name somebody."
That is an intriguing statement. JDFI hopes the investigation will continue. But every American should be deeply concerned about what Justice Alito believes the purpose of the leak was. He said he was concerned it "was part of an effort to prevent the Dobbs draft…from becoming the decision of the court." He called it "part of the campaign to try to intimidate the court," and ominously added, "Look, this made us targets of assassination."
Justice Alito is sadly correct. Last June, an armed would-be assassin traveled from California to Justice Brett Kavanaugh's home with the intent to kill him. He was, fortunately, arrested before he could carry out the act, and is currently awaiting trial.
Unfortunately, intimidation in the form of raucous demonstrations every night continues outside the homes of the court's conservative justices. This is a direct violation of U.S. Federal law Section 1507, but Attorney General Merrick Garland refuses to enforce that law, resulting in the justices and their families facing ongoing harassment.
Justice Alito said that as the result of the constant intimidation and threats from pro-abortion fanatics, he has to be driven around "in basically a tank, and I'm not really supposed to go any place by myself without the tank and my members of the police force."
This is a national scandal that threatens the rule of law and our constitutional Republic. Supreme Court justices and their families should not be subject to physical intimidation, nor have to live as if they are "marked for death." We call for Congress to hold hearings on why Biden's Justice Department refuses to arrest demonstrators outside the homes of justices. We are outraged that the Biden White House has not publicly demanded an end to the Left's intimidation of the court. We are deeply concerned about the growing violence and threats of violence by the radical Left, trans extremists and others toward pro-lifers, churches, Christians and conservatives in and out of government.
Pray for God's protection on the justices of the Supreme Court and all of those serving in public office.
