Pelosi Shows How Unprincipled She Is With Response to Assassination Attempt on Kavanaugh

After an armed man was arrested in an aborted attempt to kill Justice Brett Kavanaugh, you would think that the House would move on the bill to provide more protection for the justices from the many threats they now seem to be facing. But according to House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA), while the Senate passed the bill unanimously a month ago, the House Democrats blocked it again on Wednesday night and are still stalling.

He noted former White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki’s comments that failed to condemn the protests that were trying to pressure the justices into ruling as the Democrats want, a violation of federal law. Indeed, she encouraged the protests to continue outside the justices’ homes, and affirmed: “That’s the president’s position.”
Biden and the White House never even condemned the SCOTUS leak of the draft opinion to begin with. McCarthy then repeated the threats of Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer against Kavanaugh and Justice Neil Gorsuch, saying, “You wouldn’t know what hit you” if you go through with these “awful decisions” — a specific intimidation against the justices directed at changing their opinions.
But House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) hasn’t seen any reason to pass the bill for the last month, as the threats have now increased. Once again, on Wednesday, she seemed unconcerned and in no hurry. She was asked by reporters why, when there had been a threat against Justice Kavanaugh’s life.
