Protecting Our Supreme Court Justices Act of 2025
HR 2724, the "Protecting Our Supreme Court Justices Act of 2025," amends federal law to increase penalties for obstructing justice through picketing or parading near Supreme Court justices. It changes Section 1507 of Title 18 U.S. Code to raise the maximum prison sentence for such obstruction from one year to five years. This bill directly affects individuals who engage in protests or demonstrations that physically block, harass, or impede Supreme Court justices or their property, making the criminal penalty more severe. The key provision is the specific increase in the maximum sentence for these actions.
