Remember this? Nothing at all intimidating about these morons:
The law in question prohibits the “picketing and parading” of federal judges and court facilities with the intent of interfering or obstructing the administration of justice or with the intent of influencing a judge. “The entire country has seen hundreds of protesters outside the homes of Supreme Court justices night after night after night. You turn on your TV and you see violations of this criminal statute over and over and over again,” Sen. Ted Cruz, a Texas Republian, said at a Senate hearing last month. https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/supreme-court/free-speech-federal-crime-protesters-are-still-marching-conservative-s-rcna78678 |
Doesn't seem this thread is going the way the OP had hoped. |
NP.... You're complaining about progressives wanting justice? Isn't justice what judges are supposed to provide? Upholding rule of law? And now you act like it's a bad thing. But then again it's all in line with the difference between progressives and MAGAs - progressives want rule of law fairly applied, and will protest when it isn't, like in the case of George Floyd and police violence, whereas MAGAs don't care about rule of law or fairness, they protest because they demand loyalty to Trump, laws be damned. So yes, it's a whataboutism fail because it's apples and oranges |
Ah yes, progressives, the people who "want rule of law fairly applied." {Record scratch} 1973 Progressive: i'd like an abortion. Conservative: well, it's against the law. Progressive: the law is against the law! Read the constitution. Conservative: what? Where does the Constitution say that? Progressive: uh, well, thats what, uh, "due process" means. Yeah, yeah, due process. That's abortions. {Skip to 2022} Supreme Court: "due process" obviously doesnt mean abortion Progressive: " we know where you live" |
Sending pizzas is a pretty benign form of protest. I’d have no problem with it if they weren’t ordering the pizzas under the name of the judge’s son who was murdered by someone who was angry at her rulings. This is an implicit threat, which makes it different from ordinary protesting.
Carrying signs and chanting non violent slogans on the public sidewalks near a SC justice’s home is okay. Plotting to assassinate them is not. Ordering pizzas to judges homes is okay. Issuing a threat by invoking the name of the murdered son of a judge is not. |
I haven’t heard of democrat violence and can’t find any stories about it. Criminals who take advantage of large protests don’t count- they are not political, they’re just taking advantage of the situation. We’re not the gun lovers. We’re the people who want to end wars. |
And sending pizzas to family members. This whole pizza thing is BECAUSE the judge's son was killed by someone disguised as a delivery person. This is a direct threat fueled on by the President himself. |
Anyone who really knows and understands trump knows and understands that he has behaved like a mob boss since the 80's-any times he's in trouble he intimidates and hurts people to quiet them. Such a good christian he is ![]() |
There is nothing creepy or wrong about any peaceful protest. Any theat, veiled or explicit, toward any judge, liberal or conservative, is VERY WRONG. Any threat toward the families of the judges, liberal or conservative is very wrong. Whoever you are, progressive or MAGA, if you make threats, you deserve to be punished. |
lol, you wasted all that time typing that tripe out and then wasted our time by making us read it? |
In US law and other systems of common law, precedents are considered to be binding and persuasive sources of law to be upheld, following the principle of stare decisis. Neil Gorsuch, 2017 Confirmation Hearing: "Roe v. Wade, decided in 1973, is a precedent of the U.S. Supreme Court. It has been reaffirmed. A good judge will consider it as precedent of the U.S. Supreme Court, worthy as treatment of precedent like any other." Brett Kavanaugh, 2018 Confirmation Hearing: Roe is an "important precedent of the Supreme Court that has been reaffirmed many times" and Planned Parenthood v. Casey is "precedent on precedent." Amy Coney Barrett, 2020 Confirmation Hearing: While there have been calls for the overturn of Roe, "that does not mean that Roe should be overruled." Stare decisis, until activist judges decide the law is no longer the law. |
I know, right? Incoherent tripe. |
Schumer was quoting Kavanaugh himself in that bananas hearing. |
These pizza deliveries are domestic terrorism. I hope the perpetrators are caught and face the appropriate consequences. |
I think it’s a great idea. These judges need to know that they don’t exist in bubbles. This is free speech. And if you’re a judge, and you’re making unpopular rulings, you need to accept that some people are going to protest in front of your house. I’m totally fine with it. On what planet is this “intimidation”? So weird. |
