Justices Maryland HomesBALTIMORE (WJZ) Emotions are still running high more than a week after the U.S. Supreme Court decided to overturn Roe v. Wade.
People protesting the decision have brought their disappointment with it into the neighborhoods where some Supreme Court justices reside.
That action prompted the marshal of the court to send a letter to the governors in Maryland and Virginia asking them to enforce local and state laws that prohibit picketing at the homes of the justices.
But that request is getting push-back because limiting protests on public property could be a violation of a persons First Amendment rights.

The GOP SCOTUS picks could care less about the Constitution.

after all, these 'Let-'em-eat-cake' Judges can't forget about the actual 'rights' that we Americans have, can they?
What? Oh - THEY get to decide what rights THEY want us to have or NOT have...........
Silly me - I thought they believed in the Constitution........

that a key legal principle is that a law must be 1) reasonable and 2) enforceable. Prohibition, as an example, though Im not old enough to remember it.
