2 Different Rules: one for Them and one for us: re: 35-foot buffer zone around abortion clinics

[IcyPeas]

In 2014, the Supreme Court struck down a Massachusetts law that created a 35-foot buffer zone around abortion clinics in which anti-abortion protesters were not allowed to congregate. The court declared the restriction a violation of the anti-choice protestors’ speech rights.

The Supreme Court’s chief security officer has penned letters requesting that top Maryland officials direct police to enforce laws “that squarely prohibit picketing at the homes of Supreme Court Justices” following weeks of protests outside their houses.

2. There's no telling how long the anger will endure, but they have no idea the magnitude at this point

3. Give Them The Same Thing Are Kids Get

A bullet proof back pack and a deadbolt on their doors. Maybe a rent a cop with questionable security skills and a walkie talkie.

Why should they get more than the rest of us (or some low level election official)? If they don't feel safe, they can resign and find another job.

5. It's a shame the residency requirements don't extend to justices.

Well, if they did, they would simply wave it away 6-3.
