Cowardly SCOTUS asked governors to quell non-violent protests

[LetMyPeopleVote]

If it is okay to picket the home of doctors proving abortions and at abortion clinics, it is okay to protest non-violently in front of the homes of these partisan hacks

Protesters have been gathering outside the homes of all six conservative Supreme Court justices in recent weeks. Now, in a remarkable act of cowardice, the court is asking officials to quell the demonstrations, claiming they are violating state and county protesting laws. The requests are the latest attempts to coddle a deeply unpopular court and insulate its conservative members from outrage over their anti-democratic decisions.

Supreme Court marshal Gail Curley last week sent letters to Maryland and Virginia’s governors, both Republicans, and to the Democratic county leaders in Maryland’s Montgomery County and Virginia’s Fairfax County, asking them to put an end to the demonstrations, NBC News reported. Some conservative politicians have equated the protests to the deadly Capitol insurrection. In May, lawmakers responded by passing a bill giving judges’ families increased security.

“For weeks on end, large groups of protesters chanting slogans, using bullhorns, and banging drums have picketed Justices’ homes in Maryland,” Curley wrote in her letter to Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan. She advised him to put the protest down by enforcing a state law banning people from disrupting someone else’s “tranquility,” and she described loud protests as “exactly the kind of conduct that Maryland and Montgomery County laws prohibit.” She sent a similar letter to Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin.

This wave of protests first erupted in May, when someone leaked a draft of the Supreme Court’s recent ruling overturning federal abortion rights. Hogan and Youngkin, who both oppose abortion, have pushed federal officials to interpret obscure protest laws as bans on demonstrations outside justices’ homes. But Hogan’s communications director acknowledged in a tweet Saturday that both federal and local officials have said they don’t have grounds to apply the law to non-violent protests.

These assholes are all partisan hacks and it is appropriate to protest these partisan hacks

5. When Nina Totenberg of NPR says SCOTUS is in PR trouble,

things are bad for the attentive to his position CJ Roberts

snip-"SUMMERS: Nina, let's start with you. Today you wrote that there is no way to overstate what the Supreme Court did this term. Can you just start by helping us understand the degree to which the court's conservative shift really came to bear?

TOTENBERG: Look - the data really tell the story. The court produced more conservative decisions this term than at any time since 1931, according to statistics compiled by Professors Lee Epstein of Washington University in St. Louis and Kevin Quinn of the University of Michigan. The sweeping nature of the decisions, the sheer number of them amounted to sort of a dream fulfilled for hard-line conservatives and a nightmare for liberals and moderates. So in overturning Roe, the court erased a half-century of court precedents and eliminated the right to abortion. Just weeks after the shootings in Uvalde, Texas, the court issued a broadly worded opinion, making it just much more difficult to regulate guns. In a major environmental case, the court curbed the EPA's ability to deal with climate change. And in doing that, it signaled that other government assertions of regulatory power in the name of health and safety could be on the chopping block, too. And I think I'll end there for the moment. (bolding mine)

snip-"TOTENBERG: I mean, the numbers vary somewhat. But a Gallup poll recently found public approval of the court at only 25%. It used to be in the high 40s and over 50%, and it was the one branch of government that people relatively trusted and thought worked well. And that appears not to be the case, at least right now. (bolding mine)


way more there then I can quote from the article.

I fail to see what makes these particular poltroons immune from hearing the voice of the people up close and personal and backed by some firepower, all night long and all the day through....

7. The justices are cowards. The Marshall has jurisdiction in the courthouse only.

Justices should be making any requests for special treatment on their own as residents of a state, county or city. They should not be directing the Marshall to do this for them.

We must not give up our rights.

13. Tough sht, "justices." Back in 1994 - 1995, City of Santa Barbara imposed a bubble zone around...

… medical clinics and places of worship. It was to keep protestors 8 feet away with their praying and leaflets and photoshopped signs. The protestors sued and ultimately it got overturned.

I think this covers it, at least it was the first thing that popped up when I searched google
https://casetext.com/case/edwards-v-city-of-santa-barbara-2

My recollection is that the case got as far as the Supreme Court, but I don’t seem to have the capacity to do the online research to fully affirm that.

In any case, it’s one of the things that irks me so much about the Dominionist Six on the Court bellyaching about their personal right to privacy. It inspires me to new heights of sarcasm, so it does.
