The Biden DOJ response to Abortion insurrection

 Amber Athey:

...

The Biden Department of Justice, which recently announced new “climate cops” to police pollution, created a threat tag for parents who organized recalls of local school board members, and sought to “make an example” of a non-violent January 6 protester with a four-plus year sentence, had lain dormant in the face of a blatant attempt to undermine the judicial process. There has been no indication they will assist in attempts to find the leaker of the draft opinion, nor are there flyers at every bus stop seeking identification of the pro-abortion protesters rallying outside of justices’ homes. No subpoenas have gone out to the blue-check Twitter accounts egging on potential violence.

The US Code describes protests intended to sway justices during active cases as obstruction of justice: “Whoever, with the intent of interfering with, obstructing, or impeding the administration of justice , or with the intent of influencing any judge … [pickets or parades] in or near a building or residence occupied or used by such judge … shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than one year.”

Naturally, given the Biden administration’s inaction, the left’s attempts at intimidation have escalated into violence. Pro-abortion protesters threw rocks and bottles at police officers in Los Angeles over the weekend, smashed a police cruiser, and injured at least one officer. A Catholic church in Colorado was vandalized with spray paint that said, “My body, my choice.” A pro-life organization’s headquarters was set on fire and vandalized on Sunday. Pro-abortion activists attempted to intimidate churchgoers on Sunday by infiltrating and disrupting Catholic masses across the country and threatened to burn the Eucharist. A law signed by President Bill Clinton in 1994 prohibits attempts to intimidate or interfere with individuals exercising their First Amendment right to religious freedom.

The Biden administration finally issued a condemnation of the violence on Monday. Psaki said that protest “should never include violence, threats, or vandalism.”
...

When it took Trump an hour to condemn the January 6 riots, he was accused of complicity in any violence and impeached for allegedly citing an insurrection. The Biden administration took a week to condemn the arguably illegal and obviously menacing pro-abortion protests. Republicans will likely do nothing but tweet..

This is another example of the dual justice system in this country where Democrats are allowed to engage in violence and riots and break the law without consequences.

Should Republicans go ahead and add Supreme Court Justices to head off Democrats

Washington Post: Some Democrats eye adding more justices to the Supreme Court to change its ideological bent The once-remote idea has gained the attention of liberals angered by the GOP push to remake the federal courts. Probably the easy way to defeat this court-packing scheme is for Trump to propose doing the same thing now.  It would lead to Democrat denunciations and claims that it would be wrong, thereby blowing up any attempt by them in the unfortunate event of Democrats winning a presidential election.

29 % of companies say they are unlikely to keep insurance after Obamacare

Conn Carroll: A new survey of 368 midsize to large companies found that 29% of them are considering terminating their active employee health care plans when Obamacare is full implemented in 2014. Only 71% of employers surveyed said they did not expect to drop their health coverage, while 20% said they did not know and 9% said they were planning to exit. The latest survey, conducted by Towers Watson, echoes an ealier survey by McKinsey & Co. finding that 30% of private-sector employers were planning to drop their employee health insurance coverage by 2014. When the Congressional Budget Office crunched Obamacare's spending numbers, they estimated that only 7% of employees currently covered by employer-sponsored plans would lose their plans. ... This means the cost of the health care fiasco will be hundreds of billions more than estimated by the CBO and Congressional Democrat. It is also clear that Obama's pledge that you could keep your health care plan if you wanted t

Bin Laden's concern about Zarqawi's remains

James Robbins: ... Bin Laden suggests that President Bush should allow Zarqawi’s body to be returned to his family in Jordan, but this is a matter that is up to the Jordanian government, which so far has not shown much interest in facilitating a homecoming. Bin Laden mocks King Abdullah II, calling him a Coalition minion, and asking “w hat scares you about Abu Musab after he’s dead? You know that his funeral, if allowed to happen, would be a huge funeral showing the extent of sympathy with the mujahedin.” A large crowd would definitely turn out, though most people would be on hand to demonstrate their anger and disgust. Last November’s hotel bombings in Amman , masterminded by Zarqawi, are still fresh in people’s memory, and mentioning them to Jordanians has the same visceral impact as memory of the 9/11 attacks does here. Jordan has adopted a zero-tolerance policy towards those who choose to mourn the country’s least favorite son, and four opposition members of parliament who paid con
