Maximum Pain – Custer’s Last Stand at the Supreme Court

The irony of it all. Pelosi and company putting the screws to the Supreme Court Justices by not bringing up the bill to provide the Justices security. The bill having passed by unanimous consent by the Senate.

We tumble down the rabbit hole as a third world dictatorship, determined to find Trump guilty of most anything to complete the process of denying him any further office. Making sure maximum pain is applied to him as well as those who supported him. Not so much those who create a violent atmosphere for the Supreme Court members.

We know it is against the law to protest the Supremes at their homes, yet our “almost” Supreme in the name of Merritt Garland does nothing. We dodged that bullet. No, Pelosi will drag it out waiting for the ruling so the maelstrom can occur first. If the judiciary thinks for a nanosecond they can remain untouched by the madness of the fevered mob, they are to think no more. Let that be the lesson.

They say today may be the day for the ruling on abortion to come down. One wonders why Roberts has chosen to delay releasing it. Meanwhile whoever leaked the draft ruling appears to be unscathed up to now. One can wonder if there are any doubts with Shumer’s threats and Pelosi holding up additional security funding for SCOTUS members that they wouldn’t mind one bit if something happened that will alter the courts numbers. This is what true predictability, causation & responsibility looks like.

The MSM remains mute. Twitter as of this posting finds no problem with this tweet below organizing threats to Justice Barrett and her children. Earlier they had posted the name and addresses of the court’s members.

They wrote, “Falls Church is a People of Praise stronghold. She sends her seven kids to a People of Praise school that she sat on the Board of Directors for. She attends church DAILY.”

The tweet was posted on the morning of June 8 – after the early morning arrest of Nicholas John Roske but before the arrest was first reported.

A Department of Homeland Security report said the Supreme Court draft opinion has unleashed a wave of threats against officials and others and increased the likelihood of extremist violence. 

Schumer says just a political statement….

Where are the Senate and House members denouncing this violence?

Violence:

The Washington Stand has found that there have been at least 41 separate incidents of violent attacks against churches, pro-life organizations, and pro-life property across the country since the May 2 leak of a draft Supreme Court decision in the Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization case that indicated the overturning of Roe v. Wade. These attacks include arson, vandalism, property theft, and property destruction.

These incidents do not include at least nine other occurrences of physical violence against pro-life advocates, threats of violence against churches, and illegal disruptions of church services that have unfolded within the same time frame.

In the same 40-day time period, there has been a single instance of violence against pro-abortion advocacy groups, in which a woman is suspected of committing arson at an abortion facility under construction on May 25 in Wyoming.

Despite the wide disparity in violent incidents between the two groups, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security issued a “Terrorism Threat” advisory bulletin on June 7 that appeared to equate the amount of violent incidents from activists on both sides of the abortion issue. It stated, in part, “…individuals who advocate both for and against abortion have, on public forums, encouraged violence…”

The recent spike in attacks against churches and pro-life organizations is part of a wider pattern of violence that has seen a marked uptick in the last two years. The U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops released a report in early June that catalogued “at least 139 incidents … across 35 states and the District of Columbia since May 2020” against Catholic churches and organizations, including “arson, statues beheaded, limbs cut, smashed, and painted, gravestones defaced with swastikas and anti-Catholic language and American flags next to them burned, and other destruction and vandalism.”
