Just a reminder that the court ruled that protestors could be outside of the homes of clinic workers(abortion providers) therefore they have reaped what they have sowed.

Exactly. Laws also apply to them.

It is so refreshing to read an intelligent think piece. My reaction to the intelligence leak was identical to yours. Surely even an anti-Biden journalist can reason beyond their ideology.

My reaction to the SCOTUS leak is less definitive. My belief in the objectivity of the SC, apparently grossly naive, has been destroyed, so I regard the leak as a strategic last resort. But now will it become normal? I hope not.

The protests at the homes of justices, in this case, are warranted in my mind, however fraught. The possibility comes with the fig.

Well said. I've always imagined the Founders intent in establishing a freedom to assemble was to protect the right to protest in government spaces about government action/inaction. Many localities prohibit free assembly in private spaces [Ex: L A]. Private spaces are more difficult to manage safe free discourse because of the potential for retaliation like stand your ground laws and responses to "perceived" threats. It appears the SC started a downhill slide and they are now burdened by the consequences thereof. The universe demands balance and karma executes justice. Whaddayaknow.

Chatter is that the Right is responsible for the leak.
