Tuesday’s CBS MorningsIt ended with a sad segment on the growing threats to Supreme Court justices’ lives for ruling down (or) At the very least, it will weaken) Roe v. WadeScott MacFarlane was a congressional reporter and claimed intelligence that CBS views shared with him “extremists”As the cause of tension surrounding this issue, it is the right-wing.
Now you might wonder why? MacFarlane says such “extremists” Could be planning to attack “abortion clinics and government officials.”CNN is the perfect place to find out if all this sounds familiar. spentFriday was the same as Thursday.
Nate Burleson, co-host, began the segment dispassionately observing the harassment justices that have been applied to some young people and the consequences for them.
Given growing safety concerns, the Senate is considering increasing funding to ensure security for Supreme Court justices. Abortion rights demonstrations continue nationwide. Washington, D.C. area., protesters gather outside some of the justices’ homes to make their voices heard before Congress debates the issue tomorrow.
MacFarlane addressed first the barricades outside of the Supreme Court. “[c]rews have erected these tall, black, metal fences around the entirety of this complex”Please see the following: “an added layer of security in an area that’s accustomed to protests but it’s now the homes of Supreme Court justices where protesters have gathered.”
Citing the protests outside Justice Samuel Alito’s home in Fairfax County, Virginia, MacFarlane framed the White House as against the protests (even though they support them) by reading a Jen Psaki tweet that, along with condemning violence, insisted judges “must be able to do their jobs without concern for their personal safety.”
An ex-NBC Washington reporter noted the Senate bill to improve security for justice and families. However, he did not go further and declined to specify which side was involved in the protests.
He suggested that pro-lifers were the ones to be concerned about, before concluding by referring to the similarities between the Capitol and the Supreme Court fencing after January 6th.
U.S. Marshals say they’ve increased security help to the high court, and last night, the U.S. Senate passed a bill extending additional security not just to the justices, but to their families. CBS News reviewed an intelligence bulletin that warned extremists may be mobilising in this important debate across the country, possibly targeting government officials and abortion clinics.
MacFarlane needs to be part of this. Wisconsin Family ActionAfter their terrorized headquarters, they were forced to flee Madison, Wisconsin.

[ON-SCREEN HEADLINE: SCOTUS Security Concerns; Senate Votes to Increase Security Funding Amid Abortion Protests]
NATE BURLESON. The Senate moved to raise funding for security of Supreme Court Justices in the face of growing concern about their safety. Abortion rights demonstrations continue nationwide. Washington, D.C. area., protesters gather outside some of the justices’ homes to make their voices heard before Congress debates the issue tomorrow. Scott MacFarlane was seen outside the high court today. Scott, could you give us any more information?
SCOTT MACFARLANE : Good morning, Nate. These tall, dark-colored, steel fences were erected by crews to protect the entire complex. It’s an added layer of security in an area that’s accustomed to protests but it’s now the homes of Supreme Court justices where protesters have gathered. It was last night outside Justice Samuel Alito’s home, where he wrote the leaked Supreme Court opinion regarding abortion rights. They have also found other justices’ homes, chief among them. In a statement, the White House press secretary says protests “should never include violence, threats or vandalism,” and that judges should be free “to do their jobs without concern for their personal safety.” The U.S. Marshals say they’ve increased security help to the high court, and last night, the U.S. Senate passed a bill extending additional security not just to the justices, but to their families. CBS News has reviewed an intelligence bulletin warning that extremists may mobilize during the powerful debate in America. They could target abortion clinics or government officials. The black fencing looks very much like the ones we saw in the streets near the Capitol during the Jan 6th attacks. Although it isn’t what anyone wants, Gayle thinks it may deter any attacks.
GAYLE KING: You’re right, Scott. It looks familiar. We are very grateful.
