    Jeet Heer Retweeted Washington Post Opinions

    Let's apply this logic to reproductive freedom: "To picket an abortion clinic is problematic. It tries to bring direct public pressure to bear on a decision making process that must be controlled, evidence-based and rational." True. But courts said free speech is more important.https://twitter.com/PostOpinions/status/1524031970946256897 …

    To picket a judge’s home is problematic, the Editorial Board writes. It tries to bring direct public pressure to bear on a decision-making process that must be controlled, evidence-based and rational if there is to be any hope of an independent judiciary. https://wapo.st/3M247av

        . The @FDRLST extremists on #SCOTUS are effectively writing new laws that will affect 50% of American citizens SCOTUS justices are not private citizens They are public figures affecting the US public at large The people have the right to hold them accountable

        in 1989, the NY Times criticized the uncivility of Act-Up for protesting the cardinal's anti-condom campaign at Saint Patrick's Cathedral as ever, more engaged with scolding optics & politeness than substancehttps://www.nytimes.com/1989/12/12/opinion/the-storming-of-st-pat-s.html …

        Except the courts have repeatedly upheld speech restrictions around abortion clinics: https://www.oyez.org/cases/1999/98-1856 …

        Also, it seems to me that bringing direct public pressure on justices who are unelected, unremovable, and otherwise unaccountable—and who are trying to strip us of our rights—is exactly what is needed.

        let’s say it is still those 3 things - evidence shows public opinion in favor of reproductive rights therefore the rational conclusion is to maintain this as a personal decision controlled by the individual SCOTUS no longer needs to operate in a vacuum
