During a heated Senate Judiciary Subcommittee hearing yesterday, Ted Cruz vehemently criticized Cory Booker for Democrats’ hypocrisy in threatening conservative justices on the Supreme Court. When liberal demonstrators targeted Justices Alito, Thomas, Gorsuch, and Kavanaugh, the Texas Republican revealed the left’s silence. However, Democrats assert that they only support judicial independence when it aligns with their political agenda. Cruz Exposes Democrat Double Standard on Judicial Safety During a Senate Judiciary Subcommittee hearing ironically titled “The Supposedly Least Dangerous Branch: District Judges v. Trump,” Senator Ted Cruz took Democrats to task over their selective outrage. The hearing quickly devolved into a heated exchange when Cruz challenged Senator Booker on the left’s hypocrisy regarding threats against conservative justices. Cruz called out Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer for previously inciting protests against Supreme Court Justices Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh. The Texas senator reminded the committee of Schumer’s inflammatory remarks on the Supreme Court steps when he warned, “You have released the whirlwind, and you will pay the price.” Booker Deflects When Confronted with Uncomfortable Facts Senator Booker appeared visibly uncomfortable when Cruz asked whether the Biden Department of Justice had arrested anyone for protesting at justices’ homes. Despite Booker’s insistence that Democrats had passed legislation to protect judges, he repeatedly failed to answer Cruz’s direct question about enforcement. Ted Cruz Torches Dems That All Promoted Threats Against Judges For 8 Years, But Now Scream That Judges Need Protection! @tedcruz pic.twitter.com/N0eZmsOI5z — Dr Trumpenstein (@DoctorCanDo) April 3, 2025 Cruz methodically cited U.S. Code Section 1507, which explicitly makes it a crime to protest at a judge’s home with the intent to influence judicial outcomes. The Biden administration’s failure to enforce this law against liberal protesters demonstrates a troubling partisan application of justice that threatens the independence of our judiciary. The Larger Constitutional Crisis Unfolding The heated exchange highlighted the ongoing constitutional crisis America faces as the left continues its assault on judicial independence. Cruz effectively demonstrated how Democrats only pretend to care about the integrity of the courts when it advances their political agenda. Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) ROASTED Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ) during a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing: “Let the record reflect that Spartacus did not answer the question.” Cruz clashed with Booker after he refused to condemn the Biden DOJ for not prosecuting a single radical leftist… pic.twitter.com/vjeP1phJ0d — RedWave Press (@RedWave_Press) June 4, 2025 The clash came as part of a broader hearing examining what conservatives view as judicial overreach against former President Trump. Cruz made it clear that the real threat to our constitutional system comes from partisan judges attempting to interfere with the 2024 election through politically motivated rulings. The hearing concluded with Cruz mockingly referring to Booker by his self-appointed “Spartacus” nickname, referencing Booker’s grandstanding during the Kavanaugh confirmation hearings. This perfectly encapsulated the theatrical nature of Democrat outrage while they simultaneously ignore actual threats to judicial independence when those threats come from their own supporters. For patriotic Americans concerned about preserving our constitutional republic, the exchange served as a stark reminder of Democrats’ double standards and selective defense of institutions. While they claim to champion judicial independence, their actions reveal a troubling willingness to undermine the courts when decisions don’t align with their progressive agenda.
