The elite freak-out over what all evidence suggest are reasonable and even restrained exercises of free speech is really amazing.https://twitter.com/marynmck/status/1523853788414717952 …

I can scarcely imagine being a member of the governing class of a polity (executive, legislature, or judiciary) and not expecting or welcoming dissenting voices in a public space, if you at all care about democracy. Alito wasn't ordained, he was nominated and confirmed.

People whining about this don't even know it happens to politicians all the time

Judges aren’t politicians and are ruling on the constitutional matters. Would you want judges to follow the law or follow whatever the mob wants that shows up at their residence? You will not like where that leads. Also, showing up at politicians houses is wrong, regardless.

The fact that people protest outside other officials' residences does not make such behavior acceptable. What's "normal" is prevailing common practice. That doesn't mean it's acceptable.

It is, though. It is like, a tenant of our democracy that you get to protest your leaders, and not just at the time and place that suits them best.

A lot of it seems to boil down to people being very upset by the implication that buying that fancy house in the suburbs didn't buy them the separation from the peasants they had been promised.

Funny part is that people will still protest folks in the suburbs it's just that's normally reserved for the city councilperson who voted for a traffic diet or a school board member who authorized lights on the high school football field.
