Considering the opinion hasn’t been issued it’s a fine line the protesters are walking. The picketing at scotus is tolerated but not close to the doors. |
Some people are naive, yes. I’m not sure what you’re adding the conversation by crapping on them. Everyone has turning points in their lives, let this be one for those who took their rights for granted. |
There were massive demonstrations on the day of the Dobbs oral argument too. There are protests on the day of oral argument for pretty much every controversial case. No one has ever suggested this might be illegal because it very obviously does not meet the element of "with the intent of influencing any judge, juror, witness, or court officer, in the discharge of his duty." It's just a dumb argument that republicans have come up with to distract from the substance. |
Do you not see the difference between protesting near myhe court vs. protesting at a jsutice’s home? And yes, it’s a dumb argument and a waste of time. Like I said. So don’t feed the trolls by doing it. Focus on strategies that win, not strategies that give GOP governors a platform to spin on. |
QED Four pages of back and forth about the protests. Killed all conversations about the clear and present danger this decision would create for women. Do your jobs press. |
I think it's worthwhile to know that this is not an anomalous thing that that there are even people who've successfully fought for better protections of their rights pretty recently. It's true that I also find it offensive that people don't recognize how much oppression there has been in this country. Also, of all the people in this thread, it's my contributions that you find least useful? |
You can argue they are different, but the law people keep citing to claim the protests are illegal treat them identically. |

Well for one? It’s illegal. Secondly it’s about preventing judges from being killed in their homes because they make unpopular decisions. It happens unfortunately too often. I think protesting outside of healthcare clinics is disgusting and should be illegal too… it interferes with people’s ability to get healthcare. Please tell us what judges have been killed in their homes over unpopular decisions? Are you thinking of Colombia? Let's confine your stories to the United States. |

The problem with messaging is using terms that turn people off. The word abortion is so loaded from propaganda from both sides that many people, including a large amount of people who don't pay attention to the media and news sources, immediately have ideas in their mind that may or may not be part of the discussion. To be effective messaging, you want to use terms that will give people a visceral positive message or a message that they automatically want to support. And that means not including the politically loaded word "abortion" |
Please tell us what judges have been killed in their homes over unpopular decisions? Are you thinking of Colombia? Let's confine your stories to the United States. The point is that it doesn’t happen here very often because rule of law is a thing we take seriously. But there is a list of federal judges killed in office you can look up. Family members of judges too. I don’t agree with protesting at their homes, or at the homes of other public officials. Take it to the streets. I’ll join. |

Do not kill mothers! Support our moms! Let the family decide! Stop government outreach in my healthcare! |
This one bans "Safe Abortion" - it does not ban abortion... |
