Wade<\/em>, according to The Washington Post. <\/p>\n<p>The assassination effort followed weeks of mob demonstrations outside justices\u2019 homes in the aftermath of the opinion in <em>Dobbs v. Jackson Women\u2019s Health Organization<\/em> leaked to the press in May. The court ultimately issued the opinion at the end of its term <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2022\/06\/24\/justice-at-last-supreme-court-overturns-roe-v-wade\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">overturning<\/a> <em>Roe<\/em>\u2018s concocted right to an abortion after nearly 50 years. <\/p>\n<p>The threat presented to members of the high bench led Congress to pass enhanced security for justices and their families, despite resistance from Democrats like Jayapal. The Supreme Court Police Parity Act of 2022 was signed into law in mid-June with overwhelming bipartisan support, over the objections of 27 House Democrats including Jayapal who <a href=\"https:\/\/clerk.house.gov\/Votes\/2022261\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">voted no<\/a>.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\" \/>\n<p>\n  Tristan Justice is the western correspondent for The Federalist.
