In a newly uncovered email sent weeks after an assassination attempt on Justice Brett Kavanaugh, the U.S. Marshals Service said it was unaware of "targeted threats" to Supreme Court justices. The internal email is from June 23, 2022, the day before the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade. The Marshals Service is an agency of the Department of Justice............. To Read More..
Conservative justices are in hiding because AG Garland won’t enforce the law.

After police arrested a California leftist on a mission to assassinate Justice Kavanaugh, the Biden administration finally condemned the campaign to intimidate the Supreme Court.
“As the president has consistently made clear, public officials, including judges, must be able to do their jobs without concern for their personal safety or that of their families," White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre falsely claimed.
After leftist activists had posted a map of the homes of Supreme Court justices to harass them, Jen Psaki had retorted. "I don't have an official U.S. government position on where people protest."
There is in fact such a position and it's illegal under 18 U.S.C. § 1507 which states that anyone with "the intent of interfering with, obstructing, or impeding the administration of justice, or with the intent of influencing any judge, juror, witness” “pickets or parades in or near a building.... or residence, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than one year, or both."
Biden just decided not to enforce these laws in order to allow his leftist allies to intimidate the justices............To Read More....
The attacks on the Supreme Court by the extreme left picks up pace.
By Staff Writer June 8, 2022
Joe Biden’s White House intentionally fanned the flames of the violent, irate political left after the recent Democrat leak of a Supreme Court opinion, as well as the latest Uvalde school shooting. The result has been an attempt on the life of a Supreme Court Justice.
In amongst the political fracas, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is said to be holding up a Senate bill which would grant more security for Supreme Court justices. The U.S. Senate fast tracked the new security plans after Democrat extremists leaked an expected Roe v. Wade opinion from the court in May, but Pelosi has thus far refused to bring the legislation up for a vote in the House, stalling more security for Supreme Court justices.
Would-be assassin Nicholas John Roske is believed to have been radicalized by far-left reactions to the abortion issue, as well as the shooting in Uvalde. The aspiring gunman is said to have had a Glock 17 handgun, a knife, pepper spray, zip ties, a nail punch, a crow bar and a hammer, and said he found Kavanaugh’s address on the internet. And while President Biden himself has failed to condemn the attempted attack, a White House spokesman tepidly said that “any violence, threats of violence, or attempts to intimidate justices have no place in our society.”.........To Read More.....
My Take - This came in today from David Horowitz:
But this is exactly who the Left is, and who they've always been. They have no respect for our institutions, or the positions that protect them. They don't think about decency or morality like you and I do "all they think is that the ends justify the means.
They're criminals and thugs that will stop at nothing in the name of their agenda. Years ago, they accused an innocent man of rape, and put his family through hell to stop his confirmation. And since then, they've only escalated.
Pay close attention in the days and weeks to come. Because no matter how often I warn you about the Left and the unspeakable evils they're capable of, their actions will always speak louder than my words can.
The Washington Free Beacon has compiled videos with “All The Must-See Moments from Ketanji Brown Jackson’s Confirmation Hearings.” The compilation misses a few moments of interest, but it is far less painful than taking in the whole thing (C-SPAN has posted yesterday’s hearing in its entirety here on YouTube). However, that isn’t saying much.
Judge Jackson is easy to read. Her tone of voice in response to unfriendly questions is insufferable. She talks down to the unenlightened. She looks down on conservatives.
She buys every chapter and verse of the rapidly evolving progressive dogma. The rapidly evolving progressive dogma is to be incorporated into the Constitution as the opportunity presents itself. She can’t define a woman. Not anymore.
Her merits are entirely superficial. She makes a good appearance if you don’t look too closely........To Read More......

Connect the dots: Two degrees of David Gregory.
House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) says he “didn’t know how [it] was controversial” that he had rented a room at the home of GOP pollster Frank Luntz. Critics such as Fox News host Tucker Carlson have, with very good reason, labeled Luntz a “Google lobbyist.” But why should McCarthy understand? Washington, D.C. is a company town, and the various players operate in the same chummy circles, no matter which office of The Company they may occupy. In the Swamp, when you’re there, you’re family.
“His main clients are left-wing corporations like Google,” Carlson said of Luntz on his April 30 program. Carlson went on to list Luntz’s extensive history of lobbying on behalf of numerous big-brand companies well known for their wokeness today.
The Fox host additionally pointed out how the ostensibly Republican Luntz uses meaningless focus groups to present “his own personal opinions as social science.” He deftly mocked Luntz’s recent amazing “discovery” that Trump supporters in the GOP ranks overwhelmingly favor granting amnesty to illegal aliens. There was much more damning information presented.
“So why does Frank Luntz remain a fixture in Republican politics at a time when the companies he works for are opposed to the Republican Party, explicitly so?” Carlson asked and then answered his own question: “Well, in part because he is particularly close to [McCarthy]… and has been since McCarthy entered politics.”
Then, on May 3, came an update. “Turns out we didn’t know the half of it,” Carlson exclaimed. “Over the weekend, we got a call from a source who said that, in fact, Frank Luntz and Kevin McCarthy are not simply friends, they’re roommates,” the astonished Fox News host continued. “Kevin McCarthy lives in Frank Luntz’s apartment in downtown Washington.” A McCarthy spokesperson quickly denied the news, but McCarthy himself acknowledged it one day later. “Well, Frank’s not a lobbyist. Frank’s a friend I knew 15 years before I ever got in and I just rented a room for a few months there. So I don’t see that there’s any problem along that line,” McCarthy explained.
“Frank has been a friend of mine for more than 30 years,” the top-ranking House Republican stated in his defense. McCarthy is not lying when he says that he does not see the problem. This is the world D.C. careerists inhabit. It’s not merely a network; it’s a cocoon.
Here’s another example meant only to illustrate just how incestuous a place Washington can be.
Remember the bitterly partisan wars fought over Brett Kavanaugh’s Supreme Court nomination in 2018? Beth Wilkinson served as Kavanaugh’s attorney during his Senate confirmation hearings. Wilkinson is best known as the prosecutor working under current Biden Attorney General Merrick Garland who got Timothy McVeigh the death penalty during the Bill Clinton administration.
This much was duly reported in 2018. But there was more. Wilkinson and Garland were so close that Garland performed the wedding ceremony when she married former NBC News Meet the Press host David Gregory in 2000. And Gregory and Kavanaugh themselves traveled in the same social circles. “The two men knew each other; their daughters played together on the middle-school basketball circuit, and they had had dinners at the home of their mutual friend Miguel Estrada,” Washington journalist Ruth Marcus wrote in a 2019 book on the Kavanaugh circus.
In 2001, Estrada was nominated by Republican President George W. Bush to be a judge on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia. After Democrats conducted a long, drawn-out campaign against him, which included the use of the filibuster, Estrada removed his name from consideration in 2003.
In 2018, Gregory appeared on a national cable news network to defend his old dinner partner. “I think it’s really important that we point out that any Republican would have made this selection,” Gregory told CNN’s Jeffrey Toobin while scolding him for labeling Kavanaugh a radical. “It’s a total red herring that people talk about it being outsourced to The Federalist Society and President Trump had this list during the campaign. That’s all fine. I mean, any Republican would have worked off of this template of judges.”
More absurd is Gregory using his TV “commentator” role to praise the nomination of Garland, the man who officiated at his wedding, to be attorney general earlier this year. “And now he’s called on to do a couple of things to send a message about civil rights in this country… and of course, dealing with January 6th, and the larger issue of domestic terrorism,” Gregory said of Garland on CNN’s New Day on February 22, according to a transcript of the show posted on the network’s website.
“And, you know, Judge Garland is someone who’s uniquely qualified in that regard, overseeing the Oklahoma City bombing investigation, and both trials, Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols,” Gregory proclaimed. It begs the question: How many social conflicts of interest in Washington do we not know about?
“Kevin McCarthy promises Republicans he shares their values,” Tucker Carlson summarized. “He tells them he’s on their side. He says that he will fight for them against permanent Washington, the forces that would like to destroy their lives…. And at the end of the day, Kevin McCarthy goes home to Frank Luntz’s apartment in Penn Quarter and he laughs about it.”
Given the familial nature of life in the Swamp, McCarthy probably isn’t the only one giggling.

The Democrats and their media allies, the Times and The New Yorker very much included, are envisioning some extralegal or extra-constitutional maneuvers to stop Roe from being overturned.Most people can't be bothered to master the details of a complicated news story. Most people can't be bothered to make a serious study of how each allegation against Kavanaugh made by partisan Democrats played out, and ultimately was unsubstantiated.
"the party defaming them knew the statements were false, made them with actual malice, or was negligent in saying or writing them. Proving these elements can be an uphill battle. However, an outrageously inaccurate statement that's harmful to one's career can be grounds for a successful defamation suit, even if the subject is famous. For example, some celebrities have won suits against tabloids for false statements regarding their ability to work, such as an inaccurate statement that the star had a drinking problem."I agree someone needs to be sued, if for no other reason as a deterrent to future outrages.
