Related: Editorials & Other Articles, Issue Forums, Alliance Forums, Region ForumsProtestors should not go to the justice's homes. As we move to the June
hearing by the January 6 committee, it will only fuel TFG base and the biased media with more distractions. That's just my opinion.

(1,381 posts)This protest is just an invitation to a right to life group publishing the prochoice justices addresses.
Would you have been ok with their side protesting Justice Ginsbergs house when the verdict for Gay marriage came down?
Protests in front of the SCOTUS building is fine, and encouraged. Protests and doxing of Justices homes is not.
Sometimes I really had social media. It has really been the most divisive entity ever invented.

(1,381 posts)No good will come of going to someones private home!
Where does that end?
Every time a decision comes out that we disagree with, it's now ok to go to private residences? If that is the new normal I don't want any part of it.
I can not believe we would have been ok if the right invaded Ruth Bader Ginsbergs private home. I just don't believe it!
We are better than this. We aren't changing minds with this stunt.
Lobby your local and state governments to make sure your state stays pro choice.
Join in GOTV projects.
Protest (peacefully) in front of the Supreme Court, or your own State House.
Those are all positive things you can do, but crossing this line (private homes) is one step too far for me, and I will NEVER encourage it.

(50,977 posts)to cause riots. Big ones. Or maybe not riots. I think the Women's March did terrify them because so many millions participated. And it was peaceful as hell. We need to do it again, only bigger.

Our demonstrations are to support our principles and institutions, not to threaten people with personal harm. Only those come to burn them out or hang them high need go there.

(50,977 posts)They want a surveillance state? We should give it to them.
I plan to take a trip to DC to join the protests, but I don't live there. It would be nice to be able to annoy them all the time.

(3,234 posts)We're going to do a lot more than that.
We're not going to allow them to leave their homes. We're not going to allow them ANY peace. We're not going to relent. I don't give a shit about TFG and what they think. And it's time to quit worry about fucking Republicans & time to instead fight like hell in every way possible. Silence is violence. And it's time we take to the streets in protests. the likes of which this country has never seen the likes of before.
It's time to unite regardless of political affiliation. We need EVERY ALLY possible and that means aligning with some folks DU hates. We can not allow for any division because something something Nina Turner. This is an issue we ALL agree on --pro-choice. And the more people have on our side the better.

(25,464 posts)Yes, it can be done, via family members, but public records are scrapped (hidden) for law enforcement and judges.
Their info is scrapped mainly due to criminal cases that they handle. The info is also scrapped to prevent bribery etc.
Unlike going to Ted Cruz's home, going to a justice home is crossing a boundary.
Ted Cruz is listed in public records. Judges are not.
Going to their homes will have a negative impact.

(28,267 posts)If rude public behavior is so Godawful bad, how come trump and his goons have advanced to the point of making a fascist takeover of this country a very real possibility? All that dark, regressive victory, without the benefit of good table manners or any sort of dress code.
I am so fucking sick of Democrats always being polite enough to lose to the forces of evil.
