Some of these justices live with their young children.
They immediately had to be put under security.
They were wearing bulletproof vests.
They were dealing with things that nobody should ever have to deal with.
And people were being kind of blasΓ© about it.
Now, because a decision is not final until it's publicly announced from the bench, even though there were five justices willing to overturn Roe and prepared to do that, it wouldn't be final if one of them were killed, in fact, Roe would not have been overturned.
It was clear that people were trying to either, you know, God forbid,
physically harm these people or otherwise intimidate them away from their decision.
There are laws on the books against doing this.
And yet Merrick Garland and the Department of Justice basically let everything continue, declined to prosecute in any way the people who were trying to affect the outcome.
