Let me see if I have this right--- a statutory "buffer zone" around the perimeter of an

[Atticus]

abortion clinic is unconstitutional as a violation of the protesters' 1st Amendment rights BUT---peaceful protesters outside the homes of "Justices" like Alito and Kavanaugh are terroristic hooligans who MUST be stopped.

Is that where we're at?

Is it maybe time to be loud and disruptive? Color outside the lines? Engage in mass civil disobedience? Call fascist misogynistic bastards what the are to their faces? Get arrested?

Someone we thought a lot of called that "good trouble", didn't he?

1. What's going on? They can protest if the like.

[Irish_Dem]

2. The GOP has all the rights, freedoms, and protections.

The rest of us don't.

3. Democratic Senator Chris Coons recorgnizes problem and has answer. I sure hope he is not bashed.

"[Democratic Senator] Coons added in the release: “If the families of Supreme Court Justices have the same profile and exposure as the highest ranking officials in our government, they deserve the same level of protection. We must take threats that come from extremes on both sides of the political spectrum against Supreme Court Justices seriously, and that makes this bill an unfortunate necessity.”"

"“Millions of Americans who tuned into Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson’s confirmation hearing couldn’t miss seeing her husband and daughter on national TV,”said Senator Coons. “If the families of Supreme Court Justices have the same profile and exposure as the highest ranking officials in our government, they deserve the same level of protection. We must take threats that come from extremes on both sides of the political spectrum against Supreme Court Justices seriously, and that makes this bill an unfortunate necessity.”"

10. Who is threatening the court members?

Since when are non violent protests a "threat" and not a first amendment right?

[Hoyt]

11. No matter how deplorable, government officials should be secure at home. Sorry.

[wnylib]

12. So should ordinary women citizens.

Not sorry at all.

[Bettie]

14. It hurts their delicate fee fees

and makes them sad because they figured that women would be happy to learn that they are no longer considered "persons" and that they will soon have fewer rights than a corpse.

It makes them happy, so they don't get why anyone would be upset.

Maybe they should just go fuck themselves, because Christine Blasey Ford had to move out of her home because of death threats from the supporters of these very same assholes.

5. Apparently the protesters

interfered with beer deliveries to Kavanaugh's house.

6. Do they think they have some constitutional right to privacy?

8. I hope they continue to hound them. Night and day everywhere they go.

[Peregrine Took]

9. They put thier pants on one leg at a time like the rest of us.....don't they???

I.e. they are not one iota better than any of us. Actually, some of them aren't worthy to lick our boots.

[Warpy]

13. Power tries to protect itself first, foremost, and always

so don't tell me you were surprised that a man who perjured himself to get a job he's unqualified for would want anyone who calls him on it to go to jail.

15. That's where we've been since Summer of 2021.
