On Wednesday’s “Sean Hannity Show,” Sen. Tom Cotton stated that Attorney General Merrick Garland has failed to prosecute people who protested in front of the homes of Supreme Court justices in the summer of 2022 despite the fact that the protests were widely publicized and there are pictures and videos of those who took part in the protests and arresting the perpetrators would be extremely easy “because Merrick Garland is sympathetic to those protestors in favor of abortion.
Cotton said, “We recently had Merrick Garland, the Attorney General, in front of one of my committees, and I pointed out that we had left-wing protestors in front of justices’ homes last summer and not a single one has been arrested and charged with an offense. And these are not criminal masterminds. They advertised these protests in advance, which are plainly a violation of federal law. They posted videos and pictures of themselves on their social media accounts.
johnny_fixer Why should they be? They were peaceful? That’s called the first amendment. It’s not illegal to protest.
Because protesting is lawful. What's the future look like, an arrest unless you're armed?
He allowed his bias to make decisions. Still is.
Maybe it's because there's a difference between protests and an insurrection. 😁
The marshals he sent there to protect them, did not arrest any protesters. So no one to prosecute. How convenient. By his direction Im sure.
Thanks Tom, now go back to supporting Biden's Tax packages...
If they were on a public street, what the eff are you talking about. Can we arrest abortion protesters who harass women seeking health care?
A lot of things in America sure seem reminiscent of Germany pre-ww2.
Not justices, only the conservative justices.
I don’t understand once he got the reply that it was because of the FBI why wasn’t the follow up question (did you start an investigation into why there was no prosecution?) and why not.
so what's the end game does anyone really believe these show hearings are going to produce any change?
Democratic voters are protected in the swamp. Truth !!!!!
Tells you what the people in charge are all about.
That’s because they weren’t in front of the liberal justices. If so, merickgarland would be charging them with Insurrection2.0
America is out of control! We must take control of the ship. This goes for cities, states and all branches of government. I blame my representatives because there is more than enough evidence.
They're all paid for through Soros. Even the protestors.
Maybe the Senator should advocate for removing the 1st amendment , then the FBI could arrest the peaceful protesters.
I watched Garland yesterday turn himself inside out not to answer that question , or any question for that matter.
AG Garland and this 46 DOJ is the most openly and blatant partisan in modern history. The 2 Tier Justice system has never been so obvious but this hack AG refuses to acknowledge it.
lol.. so . stop whining pencil neck.
well, SenTomCotton that is due to the fact that no law was broken.....Cotton and the GOP seem to think protesting is illegal. It is not. They will say that the protests were in a effort to intimidate a Justice....they werent. They were to show disgust with the right wing
Protesting on sidewalks is a crime?
Who's paying for their expenses? Not a hard thing to investigate.
Cotton still voted with Biden $1.7 trillion inflation reduction act bad bill
Not a crime.
No crime, no time.. ¯\\_(ツ)_/¯
Because they committed no crime SenTomCotton You don’t have to be an Ivy League graduate to figure that one out.
