AG Garland under growing pressure to enforce federal law prohibiting picketing outside justices' homes
Former Trump AG Bill Barr tells Fox News 'the law is crystal clear'
By Houston Keene | Fox News

   Attorney General Merrick Garland is facing growing political pressure to enforce federal law that prohibits picketing outside of Supreme Court justices’ homes for the purpose of influencing a decision.

Federal U.S. code 1507, states that any individual who "pickets or parades" with the "intent of interfering with, obstructing, or impeding the administration of justice, or with the intent of influencing any judge, juror, witness, or court officer" near a U.S. court or "near a building or residence occupied or used by such judge, juror, witness, or court officer" will be fined, or "imprisoned not more than one year, or both."

The Biden administration has encouraged protesting outside of Supreme Court justices’ homes over the leaked abortion decision so long as it remains peaceful. Garland's DOJ, meanwhile, has yet to bring any charges against protesters targeting the justices' homes, even after the alleged assassination attempt against Justice Brett Kavanaugh.

The DOJ's hands-off approach has left critics baffled.

They would prefer dead because it would probably help them push more draconian gun legislation, but they would settle for a conservative justice resigning over the threats too.

Let some "picketers" show up outside the homes of Sotamayor, Kagan, or Breyer.
Then see what happens...

Faster response if they picket Garland, he would shift into ludicrous speed to have them arrested...they might have to sit in prison for a year or two before they go to trial though.

Dead... or just intimidated into submission.
