    This is 50% accurate! Chuck Schumer hit this one out of the ball park: there's nothing wrong with peace protests.https://twitter.com/jonathanchait/status/1524105516007534593 …

    I think it's both the case that protests at houses are legitimately troubling, and that the current response to abortion protests is overwrought https://nymag.com/intelligencer/2022/05/abortion-protest-kavanaugh-alito-collins-court-roe-moral-panic.html?utm_campaign=nym&utm_source=tw&utm_medium=s1 … pic.twitter.com/xEAKdTDC2g

        This is a good thread documenting that protesting outside the homes of judges has a long history in USA, has been done for all sorts of causes good & bad, and hasn't been seen as scandalous or "troubling" until now.https://twitter.com/pashulman/status/1524090427619618817 …

        I wanted to learn more about protests at judge's homes. Here are some examples of what I found: protesting a San Antonio federal judge for imprisoning a tax protestor, September, 1984. In a sign of how the world has changed, the paper helpfully published his address. pic.twitter.com/OdyJEnZsRa

        To give this elite freak-out the benefit of the doubt, after Jan. 6 people are understandably nervous about brittleness of USA system. But it has to be understood that trying to delegitimize peaceful protest will make crisis much worse. Weakens a crucial safety valve.

        If judges have power over the most intimate parts of life about fundamental rights, if the political system is gridlocked, and if people don't feel like they're allowed to voice their opposition to be heard if not abided by, then what's left?

        Replying to @HeerJeet

        If the justices don't want to become "politicized", then restricting protests at their homes while the Supreme Court specifically allowed it at the homes of abortion providers sends exactly the wrong message. After all, whose fault is it that the nation is "swimming in guns?"

        So many property owners seem to think that they have jurisdiction of what happens outside of their property lol
