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 person’s First Amendment rights.
In a fiery response, Gov. Larry Hogan’s spokesperson, Mike Ricci, said, “Had the marshal taken time to explore the matter, she would have learned that the constitutionality of the statute cited in her letter has been questioned by the Maryland Attorney General’s Office.”
Larry Hogan rocks. He is one of the few Republicans that I would ever vote for. He is 100% right. It is ironic that Supreme Court justices would think that the Constitutional right of free speech does not apply to them.
