During a House Rules Committee meeting, top Democrats and Republicans expressed consensus on the need to protect judges and condemn violent rhetoric against them. Rep. Jim McGovern pointed out the issue of wanted posters aimed at judges, advocating for their removal and universal condemnation of such actions. Rep. Darrell Issa supported security measures for judges and emphasized the committee's history in this area. Additionally, Rep. Jamie Raskin called for the retraction of calls to impeach judges based on their rulings, addressing the climate of hostility towards the judiciary.
I do want to ask unanimous consent to insert in the record, this is one floor below my office in front of Representative Ogle's office, wanted posters of judges. It says, No Get Trump Judicial Activists. Wanted.' And this is the kind of stuff that some of us are asking there to be universal condemnation about. I mean, this is threatening to these judges and has no place in the halls of Congress.
Not only would we want that, but this committee has had a long history of providing security. We are currently redacting the addresses and other information. So the one place that you will find, we won't be in front of you, except united is on the security on the judges.
I would hope also that all of the calls to impeach judges because members disagree with their opinions should be retracted, or at least that should cease immediately, because that is creating the climate in which.
I think everybody should condemn that. I'm glad to hear Mr. Issa agrees that that should not be going up. But I think the whole thing about talking about impeaching judges who ruled in the birthright citizenship case, or impeaching judges who are protecting.
