Supreme Court wants $19.4 million in new funds to protect the justices and their homes

Maureen Groppe, USA TODAY

 

The Supreme Court has asked Congress for an extra $19.4 million for security to deal with “evolving risks” and a change in how the justices’ homes are protected, according to the office that administers the federal courts system.

 

The office’s 2025 budget request for the Supreme Court includes 33 new positions to boost protection for the nine justices as threats against the judiciary have increased in recent years.

 

“Ongoing threat assessments indicated that there are evolving risks that require continuous protection,” the Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts wrote in its request to Congress.

 

Increased funds are also needed to allow the Supreme Court Police to take over around the clock protection of the justices’ residences from the U.S. Marshals Service, the office said.

Looks like they need to start putting all paintings and sculptures  protesters behind/in glass.

 

 

My two cents.

Federal Judge Nails DOJ for Giving Pass to Antifa While Selectively Prosecuting Trump Supporters

VICTORIA TAFT

 

 8d141f71-4287-4b1e-bd01-ed29cf755003-105

 

To understand what's at stake, let's take you back.

 

At UC Berkeley in 2017, Antifa and their local black bloc franchisees set fires and rioted to prevent Milo Yiannopoulos from speaking on campus. 

 

The anti-free speech violent protesters set off munitions, broke windows, beat people, and scared the university away from allowing any right-wing speakers to be heard on campus—unless they paid for their own security. Antifa radicals, calling themselves By Any Means Necessary (BAMN), framed themselves as brave and heroic for silencing speech of people they detested at the very birthplace of the campus free speech movement.

 

It was the first round of the speech wars between people on the right who were trying to speak and those on the left who called them "fascists" while calling themselves "anti fascist" and using violence to literally shut them up. 

 

Several people were arrested for the melee, but guess who were the only ones prosecuted? 

 

In an opinion issued February 21, California Federal District Court Judge Cormac J. Carney stiff-armed the DOJs Terrorism and Export Crimes Section out of Los Angeles and nailed them for selective prosecution. The decision to dismiss the federal charges against two men who at some point became members of a group characterized as "white supremacist" was based on the fact that Antifa did as bad or worse that day and at other events where both groups were represented and Antifa wasn't prosecuted.

 

{snip}

 

He denounced violent as "always abhorrent," but noted that "violence to shut down speech is particularly dangerous and runs counter to the basic principles upon which our Nation is founded."

 

 But, he said, "Prosecuting only members of the far right and ignoring members of the far left leads to the troubling conclusion that the government believes it is permissible to physically assault and injure Trump supporters to silence speech. It is only when those tactics are deployed against those on the left that the government brings charges under the Anti-Riot Act. That is not permissible under our Constitution."

No, Kyle Rittenhouse's sin was being a white male, which the MSM gladly revealed, while making people believe that those he shot were innocent black protestors at a BLM rally.  It was a common tactic by the MSM, making it seem like black people were being gunned-down for no reason, because they'd lost the "America is racist!" narrative after Barry was elected.  Twice.

In which a very privileged and sheltered young woman claims that she is protesting a genocide,

and that the most "depraved *****" she has ever seen in her life

is not being provided with a free bathroom to change a tampon while attempting to occupy a building.

And Panera. Not being given free Panera food.

Protesters screaming 'Free Palestine' ambush Easter Vigil at St Patrick's Cathedral

by Mackenzie Tatananni

 

Protesters calling for a ceasefire in Gaza flooded into New York City's most iconic cathedral, breaking up a Saturday-night Easter Mass and throwing the tranquil scene into disarray. On the evening of March 30, candles illuminated the inside of St. Patrick's Cathedral as observers gathered for the customary Easter Vigil Mass led by Cardinal Timothy Dolan, archbishop of New York. But the peace quickly devolved into chaos as demonstrators with Extinction Rebellion NYC's Palestinian Solidarity group swarmed into the church.

That will help their cause.

OF COURSE THEY DID, THEIR PROTESTS ARE ESTABLISHMENT-APPROVED: 

 

Yes, Hamas Supporters Felt Perfectly Entitled to Interrupt Easter Services at St Patrick’s Cathedral.

 

 

But it’s not true, as claimed, that nothing is sacred.

 

Do the same thing at a mosque — or an LGBT rally — and you’ll swiftly learn what’s held sacred by our establishment today.

Hopefully this is a one off and it's not a sign of the lunatics on the left trying to kick things off.  Horrible story out of NJ today:

 

Headline:

'HORROR: 64-Year-Old New Jersey Man Who Operates Trump RV Beaten with Sledgehammer, Airlifted to Hospital with “Significant Head Injuries”'

 

It's breaking, so don't know all the details, but not a good look...

If this was the other way around it would be national news as a hate crime. Don't people on the left think that's wrong?

No sh*t.

 

THIS IS MY SHOCKED FACE:  

 

On April 6, Antifa and far-left extremists confronted people protesting a proposed mass migrant center in Dublin, Ireland.

 

Antifa were beaten up in the brawl and reportedly dropped some of their electronic devices while fleeing.

 

The phones reportedly show close cooperation between Antifa operatives, media and nonprofit workers.

HIGHER EDUCATION BUBBLE UPDATE: 

 

Anti-Israel students walk out to demand the right to disrupt others’ education:

 

‘We’ll disrupt till you divest!’

 

https://www.campusreform.org/article/anti-israel-students-walk-demand-right-disrupt-others-education-well-disrupt-till-divest/25167

 

 

That’s basically a terroristic threat, you know. It’s not about persuasion, but intimidation.

 

Punish them for their disruptions until they do better.

“ANTI-WAR” ACTIVISTS FOR WAR: 

 

Jewish Insider: In Chicago on Saturday, 300 anti-war activists were meeting to discuss plans to disrupt the Democratic National Convention in August when an activist took to the stage to announce that Iran had attacked Israel. The crowd burst into cheers at the news, The Free Press reported.

 

The event was co-hosted by several groups, including the Chicago chapter of SJP.

Whenever I see one of these things where some group blocks a road I wonder why this is not false imprisonment.  But I'm not a lawyer.

 

Let's bring in the resident lawyer @ChiGoose.  From a legal perspective, why is this not false imprisonment?

Only if a Republican does it is it false imprisonment. When democrats do it it’s totally ok!

Not my area of expertise, but I don't think false imprisonment or related charges would be successful. Being annoying and causing traffic isn't the same as imprisonment or restraint. People can always get out of their cars and walk (as it seems many did in this instance). A quick glance at the IL code around false imprisonment doesn't reveal an obvious charge.

 

Many of the protesters did get arrested and charged, however: 40 protesters arrested outside O'Hare Airport for blocking traffic; forcing people to walk to terminals

 

I imagine the charges end up being something around obstruction or interference with traffic but we'll see when the charges are released.

 

As a sidenote: my wife unwittingly got caught up in this. The traffic backed up pretty severely and she ended up being quite late to work this morning. That's part of a pretty major highway intersection.

I used to fly in and out of O'Hare often and if they were where 90 and 94 meet the mess would be impressive. I can't believe these morons believe these stunts will get people on their side.
