The Supreme Court’s marshal reportedly issued letters to Maryland Virginia officials asking them to enforce laws against picketing at private homes in light of protests outside of the residences of conservative justices on the Supreme Court, following the overturn of Roe v. Wade, according to NBC News and the Washington Post.
Like they are not isolated enough from the consequences of their actions. As someone who escorted at an abortion clinic for years I know that if any of them felt that someone they care about needed an abortion they would rationalize having it done.
“Had the marshal taken time to explore the matter, she would have learned that the constitutionality of the statute cited in her letter has been questioned by the Maryland Attorney General’s Office,” Ricci wrote.
Anyone going to point out the tremendous irony of America’s highest Court and “defender of the US Constitution,” demanding people stop their legal protests which occur on public property?
Let’s say they sue the protesters, or the police who aren’t arresting them, or the protesters are arrested, and they sue the justices, who will be the final arbiter of those cases?
SCOTUS.
Talk about conflict of interest. Those justices would have to recuse. But would they?
I haven’t seen either one in years, but “Village of the Damned”, or “Children of the Damned” scared me with those kids that just stood there, not moving, and were silent. I think that type of protest would scare the crap out of anyone in a political position of power.
Imagine if the liberal justices were a majority and voted on a gun restriction … . This is a naive question, but it’s not illegal for them to be outside their homes; so how can they stop the protests?
Can’t the fascist wing of scotus just hire the proud boys or oath keepers to keep the peacefully protesting citizens away? Oh wait, I believe those fascist security forces are currently in legal jeopardy.
Gee, fascist ‘justices’, perhaps you should swallow your outsized pride and actually listen to what the nation has to say about your fascist power play.
I’ll be in DC in August with time on my hands while my wife attends a conference. I hope the Scotus protests are continuing then. I’ll be happy to join in.
I like that the governors are pushing back on it as “unconstitutional” to rub the collective Leo 6 nose in the absurdity of their own rulings but I don’t want some fool to do something more than chant at them either.
