CPAC Calls For Congressional Probe Into Supreme Court Sabotage
The Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) has urged Congress to launch an investigation into what it calls the “sabotage” of the Supreme Court. In a letter to House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan and Senate Judiciary Committee Ranking Member Lindsey Graham, CPAC demanded an inquiry into coordinated attacks on the Court. The Daily Caller exclusively obtained a copy of the letter.
The letter outlines several goals for the investigation: ensuring that targeted organizations comply with U.S. tax and election laws, assessing the effectiveness of laws protecting Supreme Court justices from harassment and violence, and increasing transparency regarding these attacks. CPAC singled out groups like Fix the Court, Demand Justice, the Open Society Foundation, and the Tides Foundation.
Matt Schlapp, Chairman of CPAC, emphasized the urgency of the situation. “We have observed with increasing frustration as an orchestrated attack has been launched on constitutionalists on the Supreme Court,” Schlapp said. He highlighted that attacks targeting justices’ spouses for their political or religious beliefs are particularly unAmerican.
Former acting U.S. Attorney General Matthew Whitaker condemned efforts to intimidate justices, pointing to recent attacks on Justice Samuel Alito’s wife as part of a broader campaign to pressure Republican-appointed justices. Whitaker called for Congress to ensure compliance with laws and protect the integrity of the Supreme Court.
A spokesperson for the House Judiciary Committee confirmed they are addressing CPAC’s concerns. Senator Graham’s spokesperson highlighted Graham’s recent efforts to block Democrat-led Supreme Court ethics legislation, demonstrating his ongoing commitment to countering attacks on the Court.
CPAC’s call for a Congressional probe aims to fortify the Supreme Court’s independence and protect it from coordinated political attacks, underscoring the growing tensions surrounding the nation’s highest court.
