And yes...it is federal law. I guess if you follow the 'squads' moral compass, the 1/6 incident was simply a legal protest!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"Democratic lawmakers rallied support for abortion activists protesting outside the homes of Supreme Court justices and at churches on Tuesday, dismissing calls for the gatherers to be prosecuted for violating federal law.
Vaughn proceeded to explain to the lawmaker that according to federal U.S. code 1507, any individual who "pickets or parades" with the "intent of interfering with, obstructing, or impeding the administration of justice, or with the intent of influencing any judge, juror, witness, or court officer" near a U.S. court or "near a building or residence occupied or used by such judge, juror, witness, or court officer" will be fined, or "imprisoned not more than one year, or both.
A furious Sen. Elizabeth Warren expressed a similar sentiment, telling Vaughn that the High Court "said back then [that] protesters should be able to get right in people’s faces, now they are erecting barriers to try to keep protesters as far away from themselves as possible. I think that’s fundamentally wrong."
Progressive "Squad" member Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., said she welcomes the protests outside the homes of justices and Catholic churches "in many ways," chalking it up to life in "public service."
