Speaking on the House floor Thursday night during his State of the Union address, President Joe Biden openly attacked the U.S. Supreme Court over the June 2022 ruling on Dobbs vs. Jackson Women's Health Organization. The decision, which was decided 5-4, returned the issue of abortion to the states.

In the aftermath of the Dobbs ruling, leftist agitators launched intimidation protests at the homes of conservative Supreme Court Justices, forcing some of them to relocate for security reasons. A man was arrested for attempting to assassinate Justice Brett Kavanaugh at his home in Maryland.
"An armed California man was arrested near Justice Brett Kavanaugh's home between 1:00 and 2:00 am Wednesday and allegedly told law enforcement he wanted to kill the Supreme Court justice, according to reporting from multiple sources that was confirmed by the Supreme Court on Wednesday," Townhall reported in June 2022. "The arrest of a man with at least one weapon who proclaimed his desire to kill Justice Kavanaugh over the leaked SCOTUS opinion that showed Roe v. Wade being overturned follows violent attacks against pro-life organizations as the left's rhetoric — and actions — against conservatives continue to escalate."
"Protestors" also targeted the home of Justice Amy Coney Barrett and intimidated her children at their school.
Protesters have now descended upon the home of Justice Amy Coney Barrett and her family, including seven children. This is just a day after the alleged attempted murder of her colleague, Justice Kavanaugh.

According to 18 U.S. Code § 1507, it is illegal to picket the home of a federal judge.
