In other words -- Women are being outright assaulted by these "justices". Why should the perps be given greater consideration than their victims?

Justices have means and they can afford to pay for added security if they desire to have it.

(25,364 posts)However, all things within reason. Protesters probably won't get arrested unless issues arise.
Private security in a residential area is "iffy"
Anyway, it's already against the law and if the protesters are too close for comfort, they can be arrested

Protesting on a street is not doing those things at all.

Not that this has happened, but with crowds large enough it could
I know they already have guards in front of the homes because I saw it on videos.
I don't think we need a new law when we already have a law. If people start getting on the lawn or prevent them from coming and going etc, they can be arrested using the current law.

(7,315 posts)This is what you said "It's already against the law to protest at their homes." and it is wrong.

Eko
(7,315 posts)Are you claiming they are on their actual yards? At their home isn't in front of it in the street?
Eko
(7,315 posts)what the protestors are doing now is not illegal. Period. Should be easy enough to do.

(4,616 posts)If it weren't so pathetic. The SC justices, those with LIFETIME jobs tasked with upholding the the constitution, go full on sissy/cry baby over a little 1st amendment action. To be more specific, the SC men. A WTF moment if ever there was one.

Require all children and grandchildren to live with the justice to help keep the expenses down.
All justices and family members must vacation at the same time and location. I mean all 9 justices and their family members can only vacation at one location and time. Together.
