During is State of the Union address last night, Joe Biden threatened members of the Supreme Court during an unhinged pro-abortion rant. Biden openly attacked the U.S. Supreme Court over the June 2022 ruling on Dobbs, which allowed states to protect babies from abortions.
“With all due respect, Justices, Women are not without electrical power! Excuse me, electoral or political power. You’re about to realize just how much you’re [mumbled],” Biden said. “But they found out when reproductive freedom was on the ballot and won in 2022, 2023, and they will find out again in 2024.”

In the aftermath of the Dobbs ruling, radical leftists illegally protested outside the homes of members of the Supreme Court, threatening their families and forcing justices to relocate for security reasons. Even worse, a man was arrested for attempting to assassinate Justice Brett Kavanaugh at his home in Maryland.
Authorities arrested 26-year-old Nicholas John Roske near Kavanaugh’s home in the middle of the night on June 8, 2022, after the opinion leaked in May. Roske had traveled from California to Maryland armed with weapons and burglary tools to try to kill the justice, according to a DOJ affidavit.
But Kavanaugh was not Roske’s only target.
“Im gonna stop roe v wade from being overturned,” Roske told a friend, according to an FBI Search warrant obtained by Fox News, saying he would “remove some people from the Supreme Court.”
That friend told Roske that “two dead judges ain’t gonna do nothing,” adding, “The whole government is f***** There’s no fixing that You would die before you killed them all.”
“Yeah,” Roske responded, “but I could get at least one, which would change the votes for decades to come, and I am shooting for 3. All of the major decisions for the past 10 years have been along party lines so if there are more liberal than conservative judges, they will have the power.”
Republican senators reminded the public of Roske’s intentions during a Senate Judiciary hearing on Supreme Court ethics reform, during which Republican Missouri Sen. Josh Hawley accused Senate Democrats of holding Supreme Court security funding hostage.
“We have had three different credible assassination attempts, or threats, against justices, we still have people illegally going to the justices’ homes to attempt to influence their decisions in cases… we have constant threats and danger to their children, we had radicals post publicly the school location of one of the justices’ children,” the senator said.
Republican Louisiana Sen. John Kennedy also referenced Roske’s intentions as he reminded Democrats of Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer’s 2020 warning on abortion cases: “I want to tell you, Gorsuch, I want to tell you, Kavanaugh, you have released the whirlwind and you will pay the price. You won’t know what hit you if you go forward with these awful decisions.”
Kennedy slammed Schumer in particular for the comment, “You won’t know what hit you.”
“A man with a gun, ammunition, knife, pepper spray, and zip ties went to a justice’s home to assassinate him,” Kennedy said. “Actually, his stated goal was to murder three justices.”
“Not so suddenly, the ends justified the means for activists,” the senator said. “Even inside the court itself, the Dobbs decision was not leaked by a left-wing blogger. Why? That’s worth asking. You don’t need to be Einstein’s cousin to figure it out: They aren’t getting their way. They aren’t getting their way, so they want to change the rules.”
Justice Samuel Alito has said that the Dobbs leak made the justices targets for assassination — and that it was part of an effort to intimidate the justices.
“It was a part of an effort to prevent the Dobbs draft… from becoming the decision of the court,” he said. “And that’s how it was used for those six weeks by people on the outside—as part of the campaign to try to intimidate the court.”
According to 18 U.S. Code § 1507, it is illegal to picket the home of a federal judge.
“Whoever, 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, in the discharge of his duty, pickets or parades in or near a building housing a court of the United States, or in or near a building or residence occupied or used by such judge, juror, witness, or court officer, or with such intent uses any sound-truck or similar device or resorts to any other demonstration in or near any such building or residence, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than one year, or both,” the code states.
After threatening the court, Biden then promised he would sign legislation to kill babies in abortions up to birth if Democrats win complete control of Congress this November.
