Hagerty, Blackburn, colleagues introduce legislation to protect Supreme Court justices from intimidation
“Federal law explicitly prohibits attempts at influencing the decision-making process of a judge. Specifically, 18 U.S.C. § 1507 states that any individual who, “with the intent of influencing any judge . . . in the discharge of his duty, pickets or parades . . . in or near a building or residence occupied or used by such judge” is subject to criminal monetary penalties or a maximum of one year of imprisonment, or both.” – Bill Hagerty U.S. Senator for Tennessee, May 2, 2023
