Abortion rights activists plan protests outside of Supreme Court justices’ homes

Abortion rights activists are planning to protest outside of the homes of the conservative justices on the Supreme Court after a leaked draft of a majority opinion overturning Roe v. Wade was published earlier this week. Ruth Sent Us, a progressive activist organization, posted on their website...

Do you support protesting at the homes of Supreme Court justices involved in the alleged future overturning of Roe?
 
No.
Politicians, maybe. Judges, no. The people are entitled to try to influence the legislative process but not the judicial.
And I'm against making abortions illegal.
 
I don’t approve of protesting near anyone’s home, though I am aware protests can be performed legally on “neutral ground” like sidewalks. But even under those circumstances the activity smacks of coercion.
 
Go start protesting in states enacting restrictive laws - Justices aren't going to change their minds; get the state grassroots working.
 
It's illegal to do this.

It is against the law.

It is unlawful.

It is a violational of U.S. Code.

Get it??

----------------------------------

Not that the law matters to the left. Any and all crime is acceptable if it advances the leftist cause.

When such a large segment of a society abandons all respect for the law, and by extension, all respect for their fellow citizens - taking up arms against these people is entirely justified. It's only a matter of time.
 
Since we've seen how peaceful protests can get out of hand quickly especially when emotions are running high, I don't think anyone should EVER go to someone's personal home to protest including these justices.

Of course. We're suppose to be a country with the rule of law, democratic norms, and civil society. People participating in this type of thing are barely any better than lynch mobs or witch burners.

It is a free country though and SCOTUS makes up a third of our government and we have the right to protest them legally.
 

I do not support protesting outside the homes of anyone, at the very least not after a time reasonable people are expected to sleep.

This because when you "take it to the home" you are doing two things:

1. Creating a fear/threat of personal harm in the targets, and

2. Disturbing the peace of innocents, both the family of the target, and their neighbors.

Would anyone here like to be dealing day and night with a noisy crowd disturbing your peace and quiet at home?

Would you fear possible dangers of a rowdy crowd?
 
The justices are right-wing thugs. They are evil liars and abusers of women. They are illegitimate and should not be on our court. After 1/6 we know the right only understands one thing - angry mobs. The Republicans aimed their mob at our democracy. Now let's see how they like it.

No, it just gives the righties one more reason to play victim as they love to do

They're going to play victim anyway. When they're not being attacked they come up with something crazy on Twitter so they can say they're being attacked.

These judges are thugs. They deserve neither our reverence or respect. **** them. I'm sorry.
 
Jails are going to be full of protestors. Good. It'll put pressure on the Taliban Republicans to check themselves.

Nope. They're all public figures. We didn't ask them to be wing nut Taliban justices. They chose to be that way, so **** them.
 

I support the right of anyone to protest legally. To the best of my knowledge, these protests are legal, so I support the right of people to do this.

However, I would not protest at someone’s house. I think it is kinda uncouth and potentially counterproductive.

let's suppose that the majority opinion is legally sound. Is legal validity supposed to take a back seat to your political agenda?
 
What a stupid and overly dramatic bit of bullshit. maybe you should try to throw them out of office. I am sure most of us could use a good laugh

yet protesting outside their houses is NOT LEGAL

That is why I said legally, you did see that right? For example, if it is illegal to protest in front of a house then protest down the road where they will see you. Being that SCOTUS is the government we do have a constitutional right to protest them and again within the limits of the law.
