Jim Jordan launches probe into lack of arrests in protests outside Supreme Court justices' homes

House Judiciary Committee Chair Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) launched an investigation into directions given to U.S. marshals to not arrest protesters outside Supreme Court justices’ homes after a draft decision overturning federal abortion protections was leaked.

He pointed to a federal law that prohibits demonstrations that intend to interfere with or influence judges.

The probe comes a year after the bombshell leak of a Supreme Court draft opinion in Dobbs vs. Jackson Women’s Health that overturned Roe v. Wade, which sparked protests outside the homes of conservative justices.

In a letter requesting information from U.S. Marshals Service Director Ronald L. Davis, Jordan referred to training materials that directed marshals to not arrest those demonstrating outside justices’ homes.

“The training materials provided to the U.S. Marshals strongly suggest that the Biden Administration is continuing to weaponize federal law enforcement agencies for partisan purposes,” Jordan wrote in the letter, first shared with The Hill.

You'd think someone of his vast military experience would know better.

What? Oh. I guess I just assumed . . .

Oh.       You mean like forcibly taking young children away from their parents and locking
them up in cages and making them sleep on cement floors? That kind of weaponizing?

He knows a lot in regards to multiple sexual assaults and who it was that perpetrated them. Beyond that, crickets.
