      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

      Hare Krishnas protesting at a San Francisco Superior Court's judge for placing a member under a temporary conservatorship requested by her mother. The story briefly gets into the coming legal wrangling.pic.twitter.com/dKZgd4KLuc

      Over 200 Bostonians against bussing to desegregate area schools protested at the home of a US district judge in October, 1974. It was not the first one. Police said it was nonviolent. Though one had their tires slashed. Demonstrators yelled "We will be back, Garrity."pic.twitter.com/MeVSw8FcNp

      In August, 1966, civil rights protestors continued what was then the tenth consecutive day picketing at a circuit judge's house in Wisconsin to the jeers of racists screaming epithets. The judge belonged to a segregated club.pic.twitter.com/GzfEe1x0kF

      Oh weird. Here are 50 "abortion foes" picketing the home of a Milwaukee judge who had jailed activists in June, 1996 for blocking access to an abortion clinic after violating a court order not to do so, calling the action a "political lynching."pic.twitter.com/i58rgVF15f

      Maybe they were published sometimes and just aren't in obvious places, but I didn't find any editorials jumping out about the impropriety of these actions. They are, in fact, deeply American.

      Maybe protests at Supreme Court Justices homes seems different. Maybe it's Twitter and the apparent volatility of our politics. Maybe it's modern media's un-self-conscious desire to domesticate activism and shape protests in ways they imagine will be most efficacious.

      The elites freaked out over the George Floyd protests and now want to clamp down because they're afraid whole system is rickety.

          It is rickety! But they can harness the energy and outrage or throw a wet blanket on it. Activism and electoral politics can and should be complementary, not coordinated.

          I think GOP pols get this better than Dems. And the biggest problems the GOP has had with candidates recently is when an activist thinks they belong in the elected category when they are actually quite effective just doing something different.
