Just food for thought.

Jen Goebbels doesn’t seem to think so.

I guess a Law really isn’t a Law if no body enforces it.

I'm sure that under the right circumstance a citizen can make an arrest and if they resist...

[JohnnyGleet]

The linked article makes the case that it is quite clear.
Of course it makes a difference if the protest is in a liberal jurisdiction or a stand your ground state like Missouri.
Same with the ' peaceful protests' at Catholic churches.

... Too right, mate! ... Not-onley "stand yer ground" - but you
also have the right to "defend yourself" if assaulted.

Depends. While it is not technically illegal to protest in front of a judges house-- it IS illegal if you are protesting to attempt to interfere with a ruling or to try to persuade a change to a ruling.


The trick is proving the intent.

[WTF]

Is this another BooHoo thread about how difficult it is for our poor Trump lovers have it?

I'll say this....if there is a law against peaceful protest anywhere, it should be struck down!

Now remember ladies, There is no crying in baseball!

If they can't take the fuckin' heat, resign.

What if they're there for their own watch party? Making sure no bolt of lightning, nor nothing shall strike the head.

New polling by the Trafalgar Group shows that three-fourths of likely general election voters think that doxing the Supreme Court justices and protesting at their homes is not acceptable. Among Democrats, only about 21% of them think protesting at the private homes of the Supreme Court justices is an appropriate way to express grievances, the polls indicated.

At one point, SCOTUS ruled that it was OK to protest at the homes of abortion clinic employees. The issue isn't whether they are protesting at someones home. The issue is if they are doing so to impede justice or to attempt to sway a judicial decision.

[Chung Tran]

Clarence Thomas presumably would have celebrated protesters outside his Virginia home 55 years ago.

Had Liberals not protested then, he couldn't have married his current wife in Virginia.

it's clear that is what they are trying to do. this is an intimidation campaign to sway the conservative justices to change their opinions.

Thank you for that.

Two minute ten second mark. I'll delete it at the top of the hour.

And I'm not so old.

I don't disagree.


Now prove it.


That's the problem. Any lawyer worth their salt would get it tossed out of court-- then likely counter-sue for violating their clients 1A rights.


I've seen a few signs that could result in a charge that would actually stick-- but most are too benign to be slam dunks in court-- and when dealing with an issue that can result in counter suits-- most municipalities are going to err on the side of caution.
