Republican Texas Sen. Ted Cruz pressed Attorney General Merrick Garland on Wednesday about the Department’s refusal to prosecute protesters who showed up to the homes of Supreme Court justices in the wake of Dobbs v. Jackson.
“I have to say I am deeply disappointed in what the last two years have shown,” Cruz said. “The Department of Justice has been politicized to the greatest extent I’ve ever seen in this country. And it has done a discredit to the Department of Justice, to the FBI, and to the administration of law in this country.”
Cruz then lodged his first question to Garland regarding protesting in front of a judge’s home, with Garland noting it is illegal before seeking to defend the characterization of the Department of Justice (DOJ).
