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.
