House Republicans blasted the Biden administration for targeting pro-life activists under the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act, making it clear Wednesday that they will seek to repeal the law once President-elect Donald Trump is sworn into office.

Rep. Chip Roy, chairman of the House Judiciary subcommittee on the Constitution and Limited Government, said at a hearing that “it is long past time for Congress to address this weaponization legislatively.”

“While we expect the incoming administration to end this horrific practice of the DOJ, that is not good enough,” said the Texas Republican. “The American people deserve to know that their rights will not be violated regardless of which administration is in power.”

House Republicans are free to (try to) rescind the law that Congress enacted, yes.

Er, that's what the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act is for, isn't it?

There are no organized protests of clinics by left-handed people or haberdashers.

The FACE act sets out what's protected protest and what's illegal.

"weaponizing"

Should have been the Oxford dictionary word of the year.

Like the way parents weaponize dessert to get their kids to eat the veggies.

...IMO the most abused word in the American political landscape.

It once meant.....
to adapt for use as a weapon of war.
"they had produced and weaponized many deadly biological agents, including anthrax"
