Supreme Court "Justice" Samuel Alito's embrace of 17th century rape-legalizing, witch-killing judge Matthew Hale in the Dobbs decision has earned him over two months of protests outside his home by pro-choice and religious freedom advocates. On the 9th of June, one of the protesters was dressed in the clothing typically associated with a Halloween "witch," pointed hat and straw broom included.

Amy Coney Barrett gets home demo, SCOTUS Marshal's bluff called

Submitted by Luke on Fri, 07/08/2022 - 12:50

On the 7th of June, protesters again showed up at the home of Amy Coney Barret, literal handmaid of the religious cult People of Praise and SCOTUS "Justice." This was first time back in VA after the Marshal of the Supreme Court attempted to demand MD and VA "enforce" laws regulating residential picketing the protesters are already in compliance with.

Protesters return to Kavanaugh's house, again read the First Amendment, visit Roberts too

Submitted by Luke on Wed, 07/06/2022 - 22:04

On the 6th of July, protesters again descended on the area surrounding the home of Supreme Court "Justice," frat boy, and rapist Brett Kavanaugh. Again they read out the First Amendment in front of his house. This is in response to the Marshal of the Supreme Court demanding in the Washington Post that protesters at SCOTUS homes be arrested. "Justice" Roberts lives nearby and protesters showed up there too.

Update: Kavanaugh bailed out of restaurant Morgan's later that night after protesters showed up in front. Maybe he should speak to former DC Mayor Tony Williams about how bad this can get?
