Ted Cruz clashes with Merrick Garland over DOJ response to Supreme Court leak: ‘You did nothing’:
Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) got into a heated exchange with Attorney General Merrick Garland as the Texas senator accused the Justice Department chief of failing to protect conservative Supreme Court justices after they voted to overturn Roe v. Wade last summer.
Cruz accused Garland of “sitting on [his] hands” while protesters gathered at the homes of Supreme Court justices who voted in favor of overturning Roe, which ended nationwide access to abortion and returned the question of the procedure’s legality back to the states. The Texas senator specifically pointed to the pro-abortion rights group Ruth Sent Us, which leaked the home addresses of the justices online.
“When rioters descended on the homes of six Supreme Court Justices, night after night after night, you did nothing. The department did nothing,” Cruz said on Wednesday.
The comment sparked a tense back-and-forth as the senator accused Garland of failing to fulfill his duties as attorney general. Garland pushed back on those claims, noting the Justice Department cannot prosecute protesters unless the U.S. Marshals issue an arrest.
Garland defended his department’s actions, noting the DOJ sent more than 70 U.S. marshals to the homes of justices in order to increase security.
