In this time of pandemic-aggravated crisis, instead of this "ghost-busting" bill, it would be well for Congress to focus & prioritize instead price-busting measures that helps our now overburdened people, like suspension of excise taxes on oil products, subsidy to farmers, etc.

Protests at SCOTUS wouldn't block the road if the steps where protests traditionally take place weren't fenced off from the public. We're shamed if we protest at their homes or when they're out & arrested if we protest at the Court. So much for the 1st Am.
