Is it legal in most States to protest outside homes? Shouldn't it be illegal everywhere?

Impeached for what?

 

This thread is asking for your opinion on whether you personally think that it should be illegal.

 

Yeah, no amount of time and money can win 2022 for Democrats!

Interesting that you think that there's no right to an abortion without a law. This differs from the position of other liberals who think that there is some sort of natural right.

Over the course of many years? Or by expanding the court?

 

If protesters are on PUBLIC property and protesting peacefully then yes they should be able to

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.

 

They should probably clear the street at this point. Its Friday and people will be drinking, and they might start throwing stuff. Or at the very least keep a tight eye on them. If its against the law (special law for justices), then they should clear it no matter what.

They don't seem interested, because they are cutting fundraising. I live in Florida and have not heard a peep from any candidate other than DeSantis.

 

"Peacefully" as in just non-violent?

 

Isn't that because they don't have a snowflake's chance in hell at winning that election?

 

Clearly, there is a difference from the public square to private property. Can you imagine if these folks were hounding the liberal justices? Makes you wonder where the priorities of the left are... What would media say if say conservative folks started protesting outside of liberal justices houses protesting their continued support for abortion? Would that be ok with them, or do you think, with certainty, that the national guard would have already been called out.....

 

As in peacefully. Surely you know what peacefully means.

 

You are going off-topic, but:

1. All stats are against the party in power at this stage
2. Biden does not have the personality or energy to inspire people
3. There is inflation
4. Dems never show up for midterm elections
5. The Dems seem ok losing, and let GOP pass federal abortion and contraction bans and then in 2024 they can run on repealing them and legalizing pot + new candidate for WH

Either way, they are pretty much doomed this year.

 

I'll bite ... is there ""Peacefully" and violent "" protests?

 

There's more than one definition. Which are you going with? Come on, show your card -- if you dare.

 

What on earth are you talking about? Do you seriously not know what peaceful means? How old are you?

 

A common form of residential protest (picketing) is one where anti-abortion folks protest in front of residences of doctors who perform abortions, and they are allowed in the name of free speech.

There has been court cases going both ways, - where the court upholds a town ban on such protests (State v. Castellano: https://law.justia.com/cases/minnesota/court-of-appeals/1993/c4-93-356.html), and where court upholds peoples right to protest (Vittitow v. City of Upper Arlington: https://casetext.com/case/vittitow-v-city-of-upper-arlington)

When the ban is upheld, there has always been a local law against picketing, so then the question is such law exists where the justices live.

 

Oh, so you didn't bring up the Florida Gubernatorial election?

 

Again, there's MORE THAN ONE DEFINITION. So which are you going with? Come on, show your card -- if you dare.

 

That is clearly against federal law as well as state law in Virginia. The board of supervisors on Fairfax county Va. though refused their governors request to enforce it though.

 

No there isn't. Peaceful is peaceful. Not sure which dictionary you're using.

 

Undoubtedly they would be painted as domestic terrorists trying to overturn our system of jurisprudence as well as democracy itself.

 

I was asking for @Steady Pie's personal opinion.

 

I don't know if there is a law specifically against protesting at someone's residence, but you can't set foot on their property, and you can't be on the road absent a permit (assuming a crowd, and not just a small handful of people that could use the sidewalk, if it exists (my house doesn't have one).

I can't imagine a circumstance where it would ever happen, but if someone was protesting outside my house, I'd sit outside in my wheelchair, buck ass naked, with my AR-15 resting up against the wall, and have a camera setup to record the losers acting a fool.

NICE!

 

All peaceful. Thanks for proving my point.

 

Congress can't just "veto" a SCOTUS decision, and to define "reproductive freedom" as a right would almost certainly require a Constitutional Amendment. Even if such a thing got the necessary 2/3rds vote in Congress, I don't foresee any way (in this reality anyway) that you'd get 3/4ths of the States to agree.

Regardless, barring a miracle, the midterms are going to be a bloodbath for the dems. People who are passionate about the abortion issue are generally VERY passionate about it, on both sides, but I don't think that amounts to enough people to make a big difference. Most people are relatively ambivalent about it.

On a related note, it should be a priority of our government to endorse multiple birth control methods available to both men and women to avoid an unwanted pregnancy, especially in the black community. From what I've been able to ascertain a lot of black men just refuse to glove up, and a lot of black women will let them get away with it. I'm not suggesting we use taxpayer money to pay for it, that should be an individual personal responsibility, but it should be endorsed, and taught at the high school level. But definitely not to 5-year-olds.
