Montgomery County will continue to allow protests at justices' homes.

[elleng]

County Executive Marc Elrich called a letter from court security officials "irresponsible and disappointing." But he cautioned it doesn't mean "anything goes."

CHEVY CHASE, Md. — Montgomery County Police will continue to allow peaceful protests near the homes of Supreme Court Justices, the county executive said Wednesday.

Montgomery County Executive Marc Elrich accused the Supreme Court’s chief security official and the court's conservative justices of media grandstanding after the court went public this weekend with letters to local authorities in Maryland and Virginia demanding they use local ordinances to shut down protests near the homes of justices.

“It's not about security when when you get a message from the press office about security," Elrich said.

Elrich complained his office has still not recieved an official copy of the letter from Supreme Court Marshal Gail A. Curley, the court's chief law enforcement officer.

“I think all you got to do is look at Putin's Russia, and get an idea of where you don't want to go," Elrich said. "This idea where people can gather together and if you gather together you're gonna be arrested. That's not happening here.”

7. Cowardly SCOTUS asked governors to quell non-violent protests

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

15. I'm with you.

The Six are callously allowing, if not causing, women's deaths and gun deaths, they can take a little shouting.

What they're doing is not not medieval - but homicidal.

Nothing, is too good for them.

13. BRAVO, County Executive Marc Elrich!

“It's not about security when you get a message from the press office about security," Elrich said.

Elrich complained his office has still not recieved an official copy of the letter from Supreme Court Marshal Gail A. Curley

"This idea where people can gather together and if you gather together you're gonna be arrested. That's not happening here.”

Media grandstanding from the poor oppressed justices?

Millions of women are going to have to live with the consequences of this decision, possibly for years...
Or rather, live and DIE from it, as many will do.

These fascist, handpicked, stolen and illegitimate justices can also live with the consequences of their decision.
Too bad, so sad! (NOT)
