.Heritage Foundation suit alleges DOJ failed to deliver records over Supreme Court protests
A conservative think tank sued the Justice Department this week in its pursuit of documents as to why it did not prosecute abortion rights activists who staged illegal protests against Supreme Court justices in the wake of the overturning of Roe v. Wade this summer.
The lawsuit cites 18 U.S.C. § 1507, which has been used to prosecute other offenders in recent years that have disrupted judicial hearings. The law also forbids protests outside the homes of judges and justices despite the fact that liberal activists rallied outside the private residences of justices for weeks before the leaked decision became the final June 24 ruling in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization.
Although the White House and the DOJ took several days after protests began following the May 2 leak, Garland on May 12 sought to reinforce security for the justices by"providing additional support to the Marshal of the Supreme Court and Supreme Court Police," the attorney general said at the time.
