Va. And Md. Governors Demand Garland Ban Protests Outside Justices Homes

[Billy_Bob]

The Republican governors of Maryland and Virginia are calling on Attorney General Merrick Garland to ban protests outside the homes of Supreme Court justices living in those states.

Youngkin actually tried to make Alito’s entire neighborhood sacred, or at least heavily restricted, ground. He asked local authorities to set up a perimeter around the area, limiting who could enter, and offered the state police to help. Fairfax County officials essentially told him to shove it.

People going into clinics for legal medical care are routinely harassed and threatened by anti-abortion protesters. Abortion providers live under constant threat. But a few candlelight vigils and peaceful protests directed at Supreme Court justices who hold power over the lives of everyone in this country and we’re supposed to be shocked and deeply concerned.

The Supreme Court has never been as insulated from politics as its defenders would have us believe, but now? The Supreme Court of Kavanaugh and Alito and Barrett? Of Clarence Thomas and his insurrectionist wife? A Supreme Court with five justices nominated by men who got into the White House after losing the popular vote? Spare me the pieties about the sanctity of the institution.

Virginia and Maryland governors demand that Garland ban protest outside justices' homes

Yep, conservatives can dish it out, but they can’t take it. Good for Fairfax county.

Garland needs to be arrested for aiding and abetting criminal acts against the Justices..

Interfering/intimidating a JUDGE in the performance of their duties is a felony.. INTIMIDATION is not legal.. The left wing would be screaming if we did this to Sotomayor or any other left wing moon bat.

You mean like the murderous Trumpers on January 6 2021 at the Capitol?

So when do you law enforcing Republicans plan on prosecuting Trump?

Ha ha nobody is preventing the DOJ to prosecute Trump over the Capital riot or the Pence electors change plot, how come they haven't done it Skew?

It’s not a demand It’s notice to enforce existing laws. The only laws libs desire enforced are the ones they have made up in the last 3 years.

Nothing in that law says people do not have the right to protest.

IN front of the court... is ok.. In front of their homes IS NOT..

 

[scruffy]

Yep, conservatives can dish it out, but they can’t take it. Good for Fairfax county.

If conservatives start dishing it out, lefties are in big trouble.

Count your blessings

 

[scruffy]

Then why has nobody been arrested?

Because leftist ASSHOLES are supposed to be doing the arresting.

Goddamn scumbag lefties, can't rely on them for ANYTHING.

Except causing trouble.

There is nothing illegal about protesting on public property.

 

[scruffy]

There is nothing illegal about protesting on public property.

You need a permit.

There is nothing illegal about protesting on public property.

Yep.

And no prosecutor is going to take up the case, because they would have to show intent to intimidate.

 

[pknopp]

You need a permit.

You never need a permit to exercise your constitutional right.

 

[scruffy]

You never need a permit to exercise your constitutional right.

Okay. I'll remember that.

That means no permits for weapons either, correct?

Wrong.... Intimidating a judge in the performance of their duties is a violation of US law. Threatening a judge is a felony. You are about as dumb as they come.

He said "protesting". Try to follow.

 

[Turtlesoup]

Exercising your right to protest is perfectly legal, and Republicans are a criminal enterprise. Nitwit.

Then you should have no issue with January 6 then, nitwit.

Now to teach a moron... Let's see if you can follow legal logic. The justice is deciding a case. a mob forms outside of his home where his family is, yelling obscenities and threats. This is not protest, this is mob rule trying to influence the judge's decision by threatening his family's safety..

"or resorts to any other demonstration in or near any such building or residence,"

That is why it was made a law so that it could not happen.
According to the law, every one of those people should be arrested and charged with obstruction of justice.

Now go fuck yourself libtard.

 

[blackhawk]

The law states that anyone "with the intent of interfering with, obstructing or impeding the administration of justice or with the intent of influencing any judge, in the discharge of his duty" cannot picket near a judge's residence. Free speech does have it's limits and I suspect if pro life people decide to start protesting outside the home of the liberal justices on the court the left will have a very different take on that and be nowhere near as supportive of those protest. The AG can enforce the law and stop the protest outside of the justices home doing that does not prevent them from protesting but it does decrease the odds of the judges being intimidated in how they rule. You let this continue going foreward be assured the mobs will start showing up at the home of liberal justices as well and the next time some nut decides to travel across the country with the intent to murder a Supreme Court Justice they might not get cold feet and the target might not be a conservative judge.

What do you think a protest is?

A protest IS intimidation.

That's why you need a permit.
