The harassment of Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh at a Washington, D.C. steakhouse may only be the appetizer to further incidents, if an activist group has its way.

ShutDownDC
is promising a bounty of $50 to anyone who provides a “confirmed sighting” of Supreme Court Justices Samuel Alito, Clarence Thomas, Neil Gorsuch, Amy Coney Barrett or John Roberts at any DC area public space, upping that to $200 if they remain in that location for a half-hour.

Last month, the Court ruled 6-3 to uphold a Mississippi abortion ban being challenged, and 5-4 to overturn Roe v. Wade, a longstanding ruling that generally protected the freedom to choose to have an abortion..

These jerks will wind up in hiding. Hopefully teach them a lesson.

They brought this on themselves. Deal with it. The rest of the country has to.
harassing them in public is counterproductive. using the pissed off energy to register motivated people who will vote against Republicans is not.
 
On one hand, this goes a bit far.

On the other hand, they didn’t strike down a Texas citizen vigilante law so they are not facing anything they didn’t inflict on others.
 
leave far right wing extremist justices alone. register new voters instead.
I don’t know if there are enough potential voters in an environment where states have set themselves up to reject results they don’t like.

And this SC will declare it all constitutional.

Getting them where they are has been a goal for decades.

So I consider them co-conspirators.

I think this is the response they’re hoping for.

if a lot of new voters have skin in the game, they might not just let voter suppression fly as something that they don't gaf about.

So you support targeted, online harassment of judges just because they disagree with your views?

Interesting.

And if physical harm comes to them? It's still "they brought it on themselves" to you?

Including independent and republican voters.

That is a real possibility as a reaction.

But we are WAY too close to the kind of shit that would have instantly been dismissed as conspiracy not too long ago.

This is not a time to count on taking the high road being the only way.

The people who paid to make them this way have a lot invested in republican power.

And that power is waning, vulnerable because of trump.

So it’s not looming. It’s here.

What they’ve been promising for decades. Permanent conservative majority. Christian nation. The whole wretched pile.

And we’ll get to see the trumpies declare it just because we stole 2020. Which may be why they told the Big Lie in the first place.

Will their decisions cause physical harm?

At what point do leaders of democratic societies get their ivory tower keys? Become insulated by their status from the ire of those subjected to them.

Where did this idea that powerful people get to **** us all day at work but must never be confronted by a fellow human being for it while enjoying their off time come from? Sounds mighty “royalty” to me.

Just stay alert and follow your heart.
 
It seems that the closer a SC Justice follows the constitution, the more they are accused of being a right-wing activist. The fact is, Democrats hate our constitution as their proclamations to remake our country attest to. But you disgruntled leftist radicals would be wise to not forget how many of us are very happy putting God, family, freedom and country above the stooges you try to elect to government or appoint to our courts.

Did you really just necro an old thread just so you can have a moment's pleasure for writing a small rant?

The Supreme Court is cutting laws to fit the right wing agenda. I can't wait for Biden to appoint some more justices and correct the actions of this court.

Your comment about "god" and "family" literally made me laugh out loud considering the people you guys vote for.
