It's May 11th. You're listening to the President's Daily Brief. I'm your host and former CIA officer Brian Dean Wright. Your morning intel starts now.

The brief you're about to hear is in the same spirit of the actual President's Daily Brief, which is a top secret summary of the most critical events in the past 24 hours, all delivered to the President each day by the nation spy masters.

And so ladies and gentlemen, I am your spy and this is your brief. Here's what we're going to be talking about this morning.

First up, protests continue at the homes of multiple Serbian court justices. The White House says that's actually a good thing. We're going to talk about what that means for the country.

Your second brief, the US House passed a bill last night giving Ukraine nearly $40 billion with one Republican Senator saying that the money is going to the most important issue facing the country.

We're going to talk about whether or not that's true. And as always, I'm keeping an eye out for developing stories, put this one on your radar.

There's a big jump in COVID cases and hospitalizations in the New England states, but that's actually very strange. We're going to talk about why.

All up next on the President's Daily Brief. Your first piece of intel this morning protests continue at the homes of Supreme Court justices that are being led by pro-choice activists who are targeting those justices who will likely vote to overturn Roe v Wade.

And that, of course, would mean that states, not the federal government, will get to decide whether abortions are legal.

Now, so far no one's been injured in the protests. There have been violence in cities in various places around the country that have targeted pro-life organizations, but nothing at the homes of the Supreme Court justices.

But still, there are a couple of important developments that we need to talk about.

First, while the protests at the Justice's homes have been peaceful, at least as of this morning, they're still very much illegal.

That's because there's a federal criminal code, it's 1507, if you want to look it up, that says that any individual who pickets or parades with the intent on interfering with or obstructing the administration of justice, well that's breaking the law.

Now, the code goes on to include anyone that's intending to influence any judge, and here's the important part, near a residence occupied or used by said judge.

The penalty for committing this crime is up to a year in prison or a fine or both.

So, what we know is that the protesters are very much targeting judges, Supreme Court justices, in this case, at their personal residences.

And it's absolutely true that they intend to pressure or persuade or intimidate the justices into voting to keep Roe v. Wade.

Now, when the White House press secretary was asked about this, specifically the federal code, and that the Democrat protesters were apparently violating it, here's what she said.

Quote, I know that there's a lot of outrage right now, I guess, about protests that have been peaceful, but certainly we continue to encourage peaceful protests outside of judges' homes, and that's the president's position.

In other words, she's advocating for people to violate federal law, or at least that's the reasonable conclusion here.

Now, another journalist followed up on the original question, but she just dismissed that one out of hand.

She said, yeah, but there have been protests at the homes of Democrat school board members about school curriculum, and there were also protests, she said, at the home of a secretary of state in Michigan, about voting issues.
