EXCERPT:
The confirmation hearing for Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche is underway, just a day after Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett gave harrowing testimony about ongoing left-wing threats to her family and personal safety and requested increased protection. Yet Sen. Dick Durbin took the opportunity in his opening remarks for Wednesday’s hearing to place the blame for those threats on Blanche, Trump’s nominee for attorney general.
Durbin claimed that because Blanche said “the Justice Department was quote, ‘at war with the federal judiciary’” — referring to the rogue Democrat-appointed judges who have consistently sought to usurp the authority of the executive branch — he is somehow complicit in the increased threats against the SCOTUS Justices.
“Be careful with what we say about the judiciary. They are doing their job. We should never ever countenance violence against anyone on either side,” Durbin said.
Durbin implying that Blanche is behind threats against SCOTUS is ironic, given his own statements made about the 2022 Dobbs decision.
