Pelosi: House to vote next week protecting Supreme Court justices and their families after man arrested near Kavanaugh’s home

Washington CNN — The House will consider a Senate-passed bill to enhance security for Supreme Court justices and their families next week, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said Thursday, after a man was arrested near Justice Brett Kavanaugh’s home.

“We had hoped that we could do it today but we certainly will do it at the beginning of next week,” Pelosi, a California Democrat, told reporters.

Though the legislation passed the Senate by unanimous consent in May, it has stalled in the House, angering some lawmakers who have stressed the urgent need for it. It’s still unclear if the House will want to amend the bill to include protection for clerks and other staff, as some lawmakers previously indicated.

Republicans have railed against Democratic leadership for not putting the bill on the floor for a vote before they adjourned for the week. On the House floor Thursday morning, House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy asked for the chamber to approve by unanimous consent the Senate-passed bipartisan bill.

1. Free Speech Zone, three blocks this way (arrow). NT

[woodsprite]

2. They need to protect the public from the Supreme Court, or at the the ones who lied

to get their seats.

[FoxNewsSucks]

9. That's how I see it too.

[Traildogbob]

15. 👏👏👏👏

[Magoo48]

25. Real patriots would say, "Please take care of the children first. We can come back to this".

[samsingh]

28. that is true

[Ocelot II]

3. I see no problem with security for SCOTUS (thought they already had it) -

the liberal justices are at least as likely to be targeted as the others, since the MAGAts are more inclined to be armed and homicidal. But if we had sane gun regulation these kinds of measures wouldn't be necessary in the first place.

[LenaBaby61]

37. What else is the GQP going to bully Dems in to doing?

Even when the GQP US Taliban party breaks laws and tries to overthrow our country/government, and allow citizens to DIE thanks to no serious gun legislation, they always get or are given a win. I wonder what MoscowMitch will demand and get next time? I wonder what he won't give Dems. I get tired of seeing the GQP christofascists winning almost every damn time. They'll be another mass murder pretty soon, and GQP'ers will once again cry 2nd amendment gun rights, and they'll call Dems Leftists or Marxists. rinse and repeat until more people die from gun violence. SMDH.

[Pantagruel]

4. Add an assault weapon ban

then vote on it.

[twodogsbarking]

21. Put that on a shirt and I will buy a dozen.

[global1]

5. Pelosi Needs To Couple The SCOTUS Security Bill With Gun Reform......

to protect school children & all of us. Let's see just how bad they want the SCOTUS Security Bill. Put them on the record. Make them scream about this tactic for coupling SCOTUS Security with American Security.

They will accuse the Dems of dirty tactics - but it will put them on record that they don't care about all Americans - only their hand picked lying judges.

If it's good for a SC Judge - it's good for all Americans.

Put it to them Nancy!!!

[JudyM]

8. +1

[kacekwl]

22. +10000

[MotorCityBeard]

34. That was my thought, also

I am hoping that Nancy is planning to do just that.

Best comment I saw about this;

"The Supreme Court turned this country into a shooting gallery, they can deal with it like the rest of us."

[LenaBaby61]

38. They don't care about being put on any record. They've proven that they don't ....

Care about human lives unless it's one of their OWN. More mass shootings/murders will happen, people will die and the GQP will just sit back and watch the murders continue. They don't give a damn. Hell, they have a seemingly winning hand when it comes to people dying from Gun violence and them getting away with not caring about them dying

[dem4decades]

6. Hopefully it's the Supreme Court and American Children Protection Act.

Limit guns to protect both.

So Supreme Court Justices are protected from the public but Abortion Providers aren't?

Either all or nothing.

[RussBLib]

7. perhaps it's too soon after the event

don't want to rush out overreaching legislation in the heat of the moment, now. Give it time, let cooler heads prevail.





yeah, of course

[Mawspam2]

10. I want a deal.

Assault weapons ban for Supreme Court security guards.

[atreides1]

11. Not much call for it when this happened!

"U.S. Supreme Court Justice David Souter was assaulted while jogging and sustained minor injuries, a court spokesman said on Saturday."

[SuperCoder]

12. So, when are we...

Going to protect women's rights from these cretins by codifying Roe V. Wade?

Since, apparently, these justices deserve protection but Roe V. Wade does not.

[LenaBaby61]

36. We won't be able to fix Roe ....

Unless Dems can win back the House and Senate with a bit of a buffer in the Senate in 2022. And if Dems win the presidency in 2024, our chance to fix Roe will come. Sad that women, young girls will die until then. IF we get Dems in to fix the GQP US Taliban's Handmaiden Tale for our country. This is so infuriating. That pig drunkard, gambling, rapist Kavanaugh will have security as he overturns Roe, and more people will be murdered in the streets like game animals with only "thoughts and prayers" and "Liberals want to take your guns away" from the GQP and it's killing machine. SMDH.

[Thomas Hurt]

13. Do it immediately dammit! Have to do something. The christofascists on the court are feeling...

like abortion doctors. Not to mention if he had somehow succeeded Biden would have had a chance to put another lib on the court.

The Horror!

This is sarcasm.

[BeyondGeography]

14. I hear the sound of Clarence and Ginni laughing

How about security from them?

[Warpy]

16. Overreaction. The guy is seriously mentally ill

and traveled from California to DC to murder a random justice on the USSC before killing himself. He chickened out at the last minute and called the cops on himself. I feel sorry for the poor bastard. I don't feel sorry for "beer me" Kavanaugh. This wasn't particularly targeted, apparently he was scoping out various residences.

Notice how fast government moves to put other people in danger to protect their own.

Obviously, they have not fucks to give when it comes to us.

[BlueJac]

17. Treat them like school children...

Give them one school resource officer per Justice. See how they like that!

[Traildogbob]

18. We could

Put the Thomas love birds in a cell, for massive protection. Totally safe and gun proof. Let em share the cell G Gordon Liddy occupied.

[usonian]

19. Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness --- FOR SOME

Tie gun control to it, add voting rights and Reproductive rights.

The way to divide the American Pie is not to GIVE IT ALL TO ONE OR A HANDFUL.

[Cozmo]

20. As if this is an effing priority, democrats should not vote for this

[agingdem]

23. Pelosi is playing it smart...

the protect the Supremes bill isn't exactly on Pelosi's list of ASAP...Kev, Mitch, can't get to it until sometime next week..sorry, boys"...

[Magoo48]

24. Who the fuck are we? Are we really gonna give these people special protection?

The same people who have so often voted in support of gun manufacturers and their ilk.

[Hekate]

26. Insert a little phrase in there about mass killing machines & open-carry near schools, churches...

… and grocery stores.

[JustAnotherGen]

27. I'm calling Tom Malinowski

And asking him to vote no.


We must ALL call our reps and tell them to vote no.

[Mr.Bill]

29. It would be great if they couldn't get

60 votes in the Senate. I could think of a shitload of amendments to add on to this one.

[former9thward]

42. They got 100 votes.

It already passed unanimously in the Senate.

[Mr.Bill]

43. Well, well...

https://www.democraticunderground.com/10142929452

That Nancy Pelosi is a crafty lady.

[former9thward]

44. Well, the House blinked.

House Democrats relent to GOP demands and move Supreme Court security bill

https://www.cnn.com/2022/06/13/politics/supreme-court-security-house-vote/index.html

[Mr.Bill]

45. This one's been fun to watch.

I have to think Pelosi got something she wanted. And as they say, It's not over yet. Nothing would surprise me at this point. I've got a 300+ mile drive tomorrow so I won't be able to follow it.

[nuxvomica]

30. I think they should get "enhanced" security

Like FBI agents following Ginni around in all here nefarious activities and taking copious notes.

[dchill]

31. Why? Because SCOTUS can't face the society they've created.

Frankenstein ended up hiding from his creation, too.

[AllaN01Bear]

32. not untill you ban assult weapons .

[Demsrule86]

33. No and No and No ...do not pass this law. SCOTUS created a gun society with their terrible

rulings and now they don't get to ask for protection.

[Farmer-Rick]

39. Exactly

This is the shoot em up world people like Kavanaugh created. The Supremes supported this, let them face it alone without extra special protections that children don't get.

But nooooo, they protect their elites but not the children. So typical.

As more crazies target the filthy rich oligarchs, there will be more gun restrictions. Children don't matter but a sexual abusers who sucks up to the filthy rich does matter.

How can any person with 2 brain cells go along with this and not object?

[BeyondGeography]

40. Bingo

Moral hazard, anyone?

[KG]

41. word.

[DemocraticPatriot]

35. ADD GUN CONTROL provisions to the bill,

then send it back to the Senate...


No reason to protect the families of justices, while doing NOTHING to protect the rest of us!
