Republicans Weigh Garland Impeachment As Biden DOJ Drags Feet on Extremist Abortion Protesters

The Biden Justice Department has yet to take action against abortion extremists menacing pro-life clinics and members of the Supreme Court. Republican lawmakers are resolved to hold leadership accountable after the midterm elections—even if that means impeaching Attorney General Merrick Garland.

Rep. Jim Jordan (R., Ohio), who is in line to take over the House Judiciary Committee if Republicans prevail in November, didn’t take a Garland impeachment inquiry off the table in an interview with the Washington Free Beacon. Jordan cited a range of alleged misconduct, from failure to enforce black-letter law to protect clinics and justices, to secret collusion with leftwing groups opposed to parents protesting woke curricula changes.

"That'll be a decision that will be made by the entire conference," Jordan said of an impeachment push.

The oversight planning is a response to conflict roiling the country following the High Court’s decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization. Pro-abortion protesters tried running Justice Brett Kavanaugh out of a downtown Washington, D.C., steakhouse on Wednesday night, weeks after a gunman came to his home planning to assassinate him. And the militant pro-abortion network Jane’s Revenge has claimed responsibility for more than a dozen acts against pro-life clinics and churches, ranging from vandalism to fire-bombing.

It is a federal crime to demonstrate outside of a judge’s home with intent to influence deliberations. Regular pro-abortion demonstrations outside the homes of the conservative justices seem to fit that bill exactly. The Justice Department has taken no action against protesters as of this writing. Local police told inquiring neighbors that federal agencies are declining to enforce the judicial anti-picketing law, according to a Fox News report.

Jordan wonders whether the Justice Department and the White House are following a template.

Blah blah blah. They won't do anything. If they are going to start impeaching anyone it needs to start from POTUS on down. If the GOP doesn’t have a super majority in the senate impeaching anyone is impossible. The GOP loud mouths really need to STFU with pipe dreams and start maybe talking about policies to improve the country. Even that won't matter unless they have 60 senators.

Until and unless the GOP controls the House and the Senate, this isn’t going anywheres.

A.G. Merrick Garland May Face Impeachment over Abortion Protests at Justices’ Homes Should GOP Take House

U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland could face impeachment proceedings over the Department of Justice’s failure to enforce a federal statute that prevents picketing or parading outside of judges’ homes should the GOP take a majority in the House of Representatives in the midterm elections.

excerpt:

“According to 18 U.S. Code § 1507, it is illegal to attempt to influence a judge’s ruling or interfere with the discharge of their duty with pickets or parades near any building occupied by a judge,” Breitbart News previously reported. The statute makes the protests outside of justices’ homes illegal, but it was not enforced by President Joe Biden’s DOJ overseen by Garland. While speaking with the Washington Free Beacon, Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) did not dismiss the idea of a Garland impeachment inquiry.

“That’ll be a decision that will be made by the entire conference,” said Jordan, who — if Republicans take back the House — is slated to head up the House Judiciary Committee.

“The key question we would like to find out, if in fact the American people put us in control, is was this similar to what happened with parents at school board meetings?” Jordan noted. “In other words, was the Biden White House working with some outside left wing influence groups, and also then communicating that information to the DOJ?”

As protests commenced following the leak, Gov. Glenn Youngkin (R-VA) and Gov. Larry Hogan (R-MD) penned a letter to Garland on May 11, calling on him to enforce 18 U.S. Code § 1507.
