“What happened in Colorado, as the gentleman referenced, was wrong as wrong could be. We all understand that. But you know what else is wrong? The 100 churches and crisis pregnancy centers that were attacked in the aftermath of the Dobbs decision--actually, when the leak happened. Dozens and dozens of those attacks happened between the leak of the opinion and the opinion itself, all designed to intimidate the Supreme Court. And what did this body do while that was happening and Supreme Court Justices' homes were being--protests, harassed, all kinds of things said about their family, an assassination attempt on one of those justices, Justice Kavanaugh--what did this body do? They waited a month to pass legislation to give our highest court members the protection they needed. This body did that. There is no place for violence. But let's be clear: Let's condemn all of it. Let's do what we can to protect against it, and let's not stay on this concerted effort to intimidate the Court. By the way, Madam Speaker, we have yet to have a hearing on the leak of the Dobbs decision, but in 1 hour and 15 minutes we are going to have a hearing on the fake leak that was brought up about Justice Alito in the Hobby Lobby case. Why can't we get to the bottom of what happened earlier this year with the Dobbs decision that resulted in all that violence--over 100 churches and crisis pregnancy centers attacked? I would like to have a hearing on that.…”
