   DOJ silent on abortion protests at justi

   The Department of Justice is remaining silent on continued protests by   
   abortion activists outside conservative Supreme Court justices' homes,   
   despite a federal law that makes it illegal to attempt to "influence"   
   federal officials and the outcome of a court case.   
      
   The pro-abortion protestors are targeting the private homes of the six   
   Republican-appointed justices after the leak last week of a draft   
   opinion signaled the Supreme Court intends to overturn landmark   
   abortion case Roe v. Wade.   
      
   Federal U.S. code 1507, states that 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."   
      
   Despite the language included in the federal statute, Attorney General   
   Merrick Garland has not issued a public statement addressing the   
   protests outside conservative justices' homes.

   Why hasn't Merrick had these people arrested?
