Activist Group Pays for Sightings of Conservative US Supreme Court Justices | EWTN News Nightly

About this sermon

An activist group in the nation's capital is offering to pay people for sightings of conservative US Supreme Court justices in public. Republicans are now calling on the attorney general to bring charges against the group. ShutdownDC tweeted that they would pay $50 for a confirmed sighting of a justice and would increase the payment to $200 if the justice remains at the public location when protestors show up. The tweet came after individuals connected with the group protested while Justice Kavanaugh ate dinner at a Washington DC restaurant. Republicans say these actions continue to endanger the lives of justices. They say what is most concerning is that Attorney General Merrick Garland has yet to bring any charges against anyone who has protested the Supreme Court justices, despite laws in place which prohibit such demonstrations. Senators Bill Hagerty and Mark Warner have written Congressional leadership asking for an additional $20 million, on top of the current funding for justices' security. The current funding will run out October 1st. However, Democratic leadership in both chambers has yet to bring the bill to the floor. Capitol Hill Correspondent, Erik Rosales reports.
