The Department of Justice is remaining silent on continued protests by
abortion activists outside conservative Supreme Court justices' homes,
despite a federal law that makes it illegal to attempt to "influence"
federal officials and the outcome of a court case.
The pro-abortion protestors are targeting the private homes of the six Republican-appointed justices after the leak last week of a draft
opinion signaled the Supreme Court intends to overturn landmark
abortion case Roe v. Wade.
Federal U.S. code 1507, states that any individual who "pickets or
parades" with the "intent of interfering with, obstructing, or impeding
the administration of justice, or with the intent of influencing any
judge, juror, witness, or court officer" near a U.S. court or "near a
building or residence occupied or used by such judge, juror, witness,
or court officer" will be fined, or "imprisoned not more than one year,
or both."
Despite the language included in the federal statute, Attorney General
Merrick Garland has not issued a public statement addressing the
protests outside conservative justices' homes.

Why hasn't Merrick had these people arrested?
