It’s not clear when the Supreme Court will issue its final ruling on Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization. That’s the decision that may overturn Roe v. Wade. So far there has been lots of threats of violence, including one psycho near Justice Kavanaugh’s home in Maryland. In addition, there has been destruction and vandalism at pregnancy care centers and against pro-life groups.

As the court generally releases the majority of its cases by the middle of June, the final decision will soon be forthcoming. The FBI has warned that it will not tolerate violence. … we’ll see. Whatever happens, violence and threats, especially against the Supreme Court Justices should not be the new normal. 

I have three suggestions so that threats against the Justices and their families will no longer be business as usual.

First: Very simply, the Democrat members of Congress as well as our Democratic President need to come out visibly and energetically condemning any threats against the Justices and their families. They need to do it now, before the final ruling is handed down. Will they do that? … probably not.

Second: Groups such as “Ruth sent us” need to be prosecuted for publishing the addresses of the Justices, as well as the online threats to those that pro-life. Certainly computer gurus should be able to ferret out from which computers these came from. Find them out and make an example of them.

Third: A unique way of announcing the final vote tally could spare some of the Justices the wrath of those who are extremely unhappy with the final verdict. My suggestion would be either to just report the final verdict without numbers, or, with the okay of all the Justices, to report all verdicts as 9-0.

(My book, The Keneally Chronicles,has some eerie similarities to the present situation. The case in question is an abortion case, and Justice Keneally, is the deciding vote in an otherwise 4-4 Court. After the initial case presentation, Justice Keneally’s house is vandalized and then he disappears. Granted the timing of the final decision is not months as it is in real life, but the fictional Chief Justice, Robert Johnson, comes up with an unusual way to announce the verdict. He announces both verdicts in these abortion cases as 9-0.)
