I did not assume. I was interacting with a specific poster or posters who made the following statements: "Have to agree. Really don’t have any sympathy for their discomfort. They know in their hearts that their opinions have turned constitutional law on its head. They shouldn’t be surprised that people can see right through their phony logic and made up doctrines. Choices have consequences. One of them is angry citizens who have every right to voice their displeasure. It’s called the first amendment." "Especially since they decided to take up the independent state legisature theory case!" "So they weren't willing to give healthcare patients protection from anti-abortion zealots, but want said protections for themselves." "No. Any justice that takes part in the ending of elections. Any justice that gives legitimacy to ending democracy should not be immune." "As soon as they restore the right for clinicians to have privacy and peace in their own homes, they can have the same. Until then, they can reap what they sow." |
How do you define threatened? And why do you assume the general public would know about all threats? |
None of which say anything about protection for some but not all. The facts remain. The Court has ruled that a 35 foot buffer zone is not allowed and that events similar to what is happening are "quiet" and "private". The Court itself has ruled that nothing can be done and that nothng is happening. Can't have different rules just because they think they are more important than everyone else. |
The irony… |
| That's the problem with an out-of-control Supreme Court such as we have. If they are spitting in the eye of the Executive Branch, along with spitting in the eye of a big chunk of the Legislature and many states they don't have much of a leg to stand on. |
SCOTUS lacks any strong ability to enforce their decisions in places where they lack agreement. |
I believe in protecting institutions that uphold the rule of law, and the Supreme Court is not one of them. |
