Over the weekend, gangs of thuggish, pro-abortion protesters marched to and “protested” outside the homes of Chief Justice John Roberts, who ironically voted their way, at least according to the Alito opinion, and Justice Brett Kavanaugh, who the left despises because of the false allegations made about him and his anti-abortion stance.
Well, the threat posed by the doxxing of the Supreme Court justices by a group called “Ruth Sent Us” and the marching hordes of leftists was apparently severe enough that Justice Alito, the author of the Dobbs opinion that overturns Roe, had to be whisked out of town and put somewhere safe.
Breitbart, reporting on that, notes that:
Rumors around D.C. are that Alito and his family have been moved to an undisclosed location for safety, according to interviews on Fox News and WMAL radio, given the additional opposition he is facing as the writer of the leaked majority opinion.
That would make sense, as last week Justice Alito had to cancel an appearance at the the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals’ judicial conference due to security threats stemming from the leak of his opinion in the Dobbs case. Politico, reporting on that missed conference, noted that:
The justice was scheduled to speak at the Fifth Circuit’s Annual Conference but instead recorded a brief video for attendees. He said he was “very much looking forward to visiting,” according to Josh Blackman, a professor at South Texas College of Law, who published a blog post about the cancellation.
“Unfortunately personal attendance became impractical, and I apologize,” Alito said, according to Blackman’s post.
As Nashville is a far friendlier place for conservatives than the far-left Northern Virginia/District of Columbia area, it makes sense that Alito would have to be whisked away from his home in Northern Virginia for reasons of personal safety if he couldn’t even be kept safe in Nashville.
This is just yet another breach of the sanctity of the Supreme Court, one of the few institutions in America that many people resepected and saw as doing its job rather than bowing to political authorities or the whims of a mob.
However accurate that view might have been, and the court’s refusal to strike down Obamacare or rule contrary to how the left would want on voter fraud and gay marriage issues shows it to potentially be untrue, it was nice in that there was still one institution in America that commanded some respect and wasn’t overtly politiciized.
Now, thanks to the leak and “Ruth Sent Us” besieging the homes of the court, we’ve moved from a sacred court to a court in cartelland, where thugs use fear and threats of violence in an attempt to intimidate judges into voting in a way one side would prefer and judges like Alito that go against the grain have to be whisked to safe houses when writing an opinion they see as correct, if controversial.
That’s a worrying change, one that doesn’t spark confidence in America.
