This isn't limited to one particular group, there have been protests at homes over mask mandates, at school board members homes, one group even tried to kidnap a governor from her summer residence over virus restrictions.
It's wrong to bring the protest outside Kavanaugh's home, we all should able to say it's wrong to protest outside a public officials residence.
No it’s absolutely right. Kavanagh chose to pursue a public position of power and he chooses to make decisions that harm a lot of people for the benefit of the wealthy he can reap the consequences.
The problem is that you get a group of 20 and someone does something and they start tearing apart everyone’s online history and how they organized and it can quickly lead to charges.

It actually is a felony to do so in this case because it involves Justices in a pending case.

It’s illegal to protest outside of a Judge’s home in an effort to try to sway their decision in a pending case. The consequences for protesters who ignore the law is up to a year in jail.
remember chuckie schumer's threat to kavanaugh and gorsuch?
'you will pay the price!!'
It’s clear that TeamBiden either doesn’t know —- or doesn’t care, that’s it’s a Federal Felony offense to protest, threaten or attempt to intimidate a Judge and certainly a Supreme Court Justice.

If they are legally permitted to protest near the judge's residents then fine- I'm 100% for supporting their constitutional rights. I never cried when the anti-abortion crowd stood on public property within earshot of a clinic and defamed women walking into abortion clinics either. It's their right to assemble and their protected speech.
I try to choose my words carefully- I have reiterated legal assembly multiple times.
Whoever, with the intent of interfering with, obstructing, or impeding the administration of justice, or with the intent of influencing any judge, juror, witness, or court officer, in the discharge of his duty, pickets or parades in or near a building housing a court of the United States, or in or near a building or residence occupied or used by such judge, juror, witness, or court officer, or with such intent uses any sound-truck or similar device or resorts to any other demonstration in or near any such building or residence, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than one year, or both.
Nothing in this section shall interfere with or prevent the exercise by any court of the United States of its power to punish for contempt.
It’s likely (or certainly possible)that the theft of the Draft Decision is also a Crime. It is unprecedented.
Whoever, by threats or force, willfully prevents, obstructs, impedes, or interferes with, or willfully attempts to prevent, obstruct, impede, or interfere with, the due exercise of rights or the performance of duties under any order, judgment, or decree of a court of the United States, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than one year, or both.
Leaking a Draft Judgement sounds a lot like “impede, obstruct, interferes with, prevent and performance of duties”.
Our US Attorney General, the US Department of Justice AND the President of the United States are silent on all of this ….. including the Doxxing and threats against 2 particular Supreme Court Justices AND the Constitutional 3rd Branch of US Goverment.

It’s Appalling, and Unforgivable
I agree. The leaking of the draft is subject to this law as well. Whoever leaked it should get the maximum of a year in jail.
I suspect the final decision may be expedited some, perhaps early June, given the leak. I also will not be surprised if Roberts joins the 5 in the majority decision.
I wonder if we will see an uptick in the name Trigger as a newborn's name in 2022.
Why is it being done? I don’t know why people choose to break the law.
The better question is why are there laws preventing ordinary people from trying to sway public officials but no laws preventing wealthy donors from swaying those same individuals that are paid for with public taxes and protected with a military made up of ordinary citizens?
If you want public officials to be free of outside influence, great. I agree. However we need to address the problem of the double standard. As long as there is lobbying, and these people can own stocks etc. then the public should be able to know where they live, camp out by their houses etc. and laws used to create that double standard should be repealed.
