Purging, Not Packing, the Supreme Court

This is Frank Gaffney with the Secure Freedom Minute.

Congress is urgently considering legislation to provide protection to Supreme Court justices’ family members. The fact that they need physical security is an indictment not only of the mobs now driving them from their homes. It is a symptom of the Biden administration’s embrace, yet again, of unequal justice under law.

Team Biden’s effective encouragement of its radical and even violent leftist allies’ intimidation – and worse, contrasts sharply with its harsh treatment of political opponents smeared as “domestic terrorists.” In practice, giving a pass to those threatening members of the Supreme Court effectively greenlights not only efforts to pack it, but to purge it.

While robustly protecting justices and their families is, of course, necessary, it is not sufficient. President Biden and his subordinates must make clear immediately that anyone endangering them will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.
