Intimidation of US Supreme Court Justices OKed by 27 congressional dems

In the wake of death threats to Justice Kavanaugh and his family, the U.S. House followed the Senate in passing in passing S. 4160 Tuesday. It amends title 40, United States Code, to grant the Supreme Court of the United States security-related authorities equivalent to the legislative and executive branches.

Although the bill is a rational step in view of the current harassment of justices — picketing in their front yards and blocking their streets with cars, making egress and ingress for individual justices and their neighbors impossible — the bill was not signed onto by 27 members of Congress, significant for all being democrats.

Rep. Joyce Beatty, D-OH; Rep. Jamaal Bowman, D-NY; Rep. Cori Bush, D-MO; Rep. Veronica Escobar, D-TX; Rep. Adriano Espaillat, D-N.; Rep. Chuy Garcia, D-Ill.; Rep. Sylvia Garcia, D-TX; Rep. Joshua Gottheimer, D-NJ; Rep. Raul Grijalva, D-AZ; Rep. Steven Horsford, D-NV; Rep. Pramila Jayapal, D-WA;. Rep. Brenda Lawrence, D-MI; Rep. Barbara Lee, D-CA; Rep. Tom Malinowski, D-NJ; Rep. Marie Newman, D-IL; Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-NY; Rep. Bill Pascrell, D-NJ; Rep. Donald Payne, D-NJ; Rep. Ed Perlmutter, D-CO;. Rep. Ayanna Pressley, D-Ma; Rep. Mikie Sherrill, D-NJ; Rep. Albio Sires, D-NJ; Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-MI; Rep. Norma Torres, D-CA; Rep. Nydia Velazquez, D-NY; Rep. Maxine Waters, D-CA; and Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman, D-NJ.

The lone Arizona congressional dissenting vote was Raul Grijalva, notable for his far leftwing skew, showing up for work drunk and paying a resigning staffer nearly $50,000 of taxpayer funds to keep her mouth shut about his impairment.

We’ve written about Raul Grijalva on numerous occasions. For a reminder, read this 2010 report titled, “The real Raul Grijalva: At war with Arizona citizens.”

Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia Texas held primaries yesterday. A spectacular flip occurred in Texas. Republican Mayra Flores won a special election in Texas’ 34th Congressional District, flipping a House seat after Rep. Filemon Vela, who held the seat for nearly 10 years, resigned in March. Flores had 51% of the vote to democrat candidate Dan Sanchez’ 43% when the AP called the race last night.
