Justice Under Siege

Leftist protesters took to the streets of Washington, D.C., Sunday. They were there to mark the 50th anniversary of the Supreme Court’s Roe v. Wade decision legalizing abortion on demand. That night, the pro-abortion mob returned to Justice Brett Kavanaugh’s home. 

They carried symbols of the LGBTQ and pro-abortion movements. As they marched through Kavanaugh’s neighborhood, they chanted:

“Cut his time short. A rapist should not rule the court.” 

“Freedom of religion means freedom from yours.” 

“No privacy for us, no peace for you.” 

A female reporter covering the demonstration for a conservative outlet was harassed by the leftist marchers. They attempted to take her photo, and one threateningly said, “Don’t worry, we’ll see you soon enough.” 

The judiciary is one of the three branches of government, and the Supreme Court is the head of that branch. This intimidation of conservative justices is occurring in blatant violation of federal, state and local laws. 

But the same Biden Justice Department that is persecuting pro-life activists does not lift a finger to enforce the law to protect justices from pro-abortion intimidation and threats. 

The marshals protecting Kavanaugh’s home were asked why they weren’t arresting protesters. They said the protesters had freedom of speech. When informed of the federal law that prohibits such demonstrations at justices’ homes, the marshals said that arrests would only escalate the situation.

I’m not nitpicking here. Once again, the double standard of justice is obvious and it undermines our constitutional republic.

If a group of demonstrators were carrying crosses and chanting slogans about threats to religious liberty outside the homes of Justices Elena Kagan, Sonia Sotomayor and Ketanji Brown Jackson, they would likely be charged as “insurrectionists.” 

Speaking of unhinged pro-abortion activists, steel yourself and then watch this video. I’m a big believer in miracles, and it would certainly take one to soften this young woman’s heart. But I doubt any act of love or kindness on our part is likely to change her mind anytime soon. 

While changing hearts and minds is essential, we must also continue to work toward changing the law and saving as many innocent lives as possible.
