It is called "freedom of speech." The right to tell your government officials that they are dipshits. He really ought to check out that Constitution, no matter what else he might find there.

But Republicans are okay with driving their semis and trucks at slow speeds while blowing their horns, and they had no problem with armed people "protesting" outside abortion doctors homes, public health officials' homes during COVID lockdowns, and the harassment of election workers at home.

So, I won't cry for the Republicans on the Supreme Court who are crying out for protections that they don't think others should have.

Merely the 'golden rule' in action.

It's impossible to avoid compliance. How you treat others is your instruction to others for how you should be treated yourself. You can only hope they will be kind and courteous enough to do to as you would be done by, whatever their personal inclination. I would not be inclined to march and shout outside someone's domicile, but since the person inside has made clear he wants to be accosted and harangued on the sidewalk, having sicced that experience on others, I am willing to see his wish granted.

If the neighbors or other residents don't like it they can move. Their rights don't usurp those of the protesters

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
