S 399 United States Senate · 119th Congress

Protecting Our Supreme Court Justices Act of 2025

This bill amends federal law to increase penalties for obstructing justice through picketing or parading near judicial buildings. Specifically, it raises the maximum prison sentence for such offenses under 18 U.S.C. § 1507 from one year to five years. The law directly affects individuals who engage in protests or demonstrations that interfere with court operations near the Supreme Court or other judicial facilities. The key change is a stricter criminal penalty for obstructing justice, not a new policy or program.
