During a contentious Senate Judiciary Subcommittee hearing, Senator Ted Cruz delivered a scathing critique of Senator Cory Booker, revealing the Democrats’ hypocrisy in threatening conservative justices on the Supreme Court. Cruz compelled Booker to acknowledge that the Biden Department of Justice has not brought any charges against any of the protesters who unlawfully staged demonstrations outside the residences of justices, despite Democrats’ claims that they condemn all threats against judges.
Cruz Exposes Democrat Double Standard on Judicial Safety
The fiery exchange occurred during a Senate Judiciary Subcommittee hearing ironically titled “The Supposedly Least Dangerous Branch: District Judges v. Trump.” Cruz, serving as the subcommittee chair, wasted no time highlighting the Democrats’ selective outrage regarding threats against federal judges.

Cruz specifically called out Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer for inciting protests against Supreme Court Justices Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh before the landmark Dobbs decision. The Texas senator reminded everyone that Schumer had warned the justices they would “pay the price” for their potential ruling, rhetoric that many conservatives viewed as dangerously inflammatory.
Booker Visibly Rattled by Cruz’s Questioning
Senator Booker attempted to counter Cruz’s allegations by claiming Democrats had condemned threats and taken bipartisan action to protect judges. However, Cruz’s persistent questioning about actual enforcement actions quickly crumbled his defense.

Cruz cited U.S.C. Section 1507, which explicitly makes it a crime to protest at a judge’s home with the intent to influence their decisions. Despite this clear law, the Biden Department of Justice has failed to prosecute the protesters who gathered outside the homes of conservative justices like Alito and Thomas.
Biden DOJ’s Partisan Enforcement Exposed
The hearing reached its climax when Cruz repeatedly pressed Booker on whether the Biden DOJ had arrested anyone under Section 1507 for protesting at justices’ homes. Booker’s inability to answer directly spoke volumes about the current administration’s selective law enforcement.
Cruz masterfully exposed the partisan nature of the Biden Justice Department, which aggressively prosecutes conservatives while turning a blind eye to leftist protesters threatening Supreme Court justices. The exchange highlighted the growing concern among many Americans that our justice system is being weaponized against political opponents rather than applied equally to all citizens.
The hearing concluded with Cruz mockingly referencing Booker’s self-proclaimed “Spartacus moment” from previous hearings, a reminder of the theatrical nature of many Democrat protests. Conservative viewers were left with clear evidence of how the Biden administration has abandoned its duty to protect Supreme Court justices from illegal intimidation tactics while simultaneously targeting their political opponents.
