Cruz, a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, claimed the protests outside of Supreme Court justices’ homes are threatening the justices’ lives while the Left continues to welcome the tactic. People have assembled outside of the Supreme Court and around the country this week to challenge the possible overturning of Roe v. Wade, claimed in a leaked Supreme Court draft opinion last week.
“It was shameful that the White House refused to condemn violent protesters threatening the families of the Supreme Court,” Cruz told Fox Business anchor Maria Bartiromo on Sunday. “Joe Biden used to be chairman of the Judiciary Committee. Joe Biden knows it’s disgraceful. He’s literally threatening the lives of these justices by the mob they’re unleashing.”

“I think the President’s view is that there’s a lot of passion, a lot of fear, a lot of sadness from many, many people across this country about what they saw in that leaked document,” Psaki said. “We obviously want people’s privacy to be respected. We want people to protest peacefully if they want to protest.”

"I’ve got [Sen.] Ted Cruz on the show today, and he basically walked me through it yesterday when we were talking about today’s appearance — that there is — it’s really a small group, 12 people,” Bartiromo added. “Because it’s three liberal justices that have four law clerks each, a pool of 12 people that people are looking at right now. There is an investigation underway.”
