It’s illegal and it’s a violation of Virginia state law as well.
Good thing va has a democrat governor huh?
Er wait...
Rules is rules...
If it is threatening physically or emotionally, it is not peaceable. The law appears to, like many others, uses the premise of “intention”.
The judiciary is not a political branch. So, no, the law doesn’t violate the First Amendment.
Lots of things are illegal, but lately they still take place with impunity - and nobody is punished for them.
The thing about these protests is that they won’t make a bit of difference to the outcome - and that will be a pretty neat punishment.
These particular demos are threatening by their nature and can not be viewed as peaceable, too.
I’m sure they’ll look at all the video of the protestors and be finding and arresting them. Then they’ll hold them for over a year without ever even charging them. Some they will be put in solitary confinement too.
You know, like the stuff they did to the Jan 6 protestors? We know they’ll be doing that because of how honest, fair and equitable they always are, right?
What is stunning to me is the women who are demanding that killing their babies is acceptable in society at all.
‘Stalking” is a federal crime
When the Rule of Law is abandoned piecemeal for the convenience of some political goal, the void is swiftly and violently filled by the Rule of Force.
“Reaping the whirlwind” won’t even begin to describe the coming disaster.
No.
Coercion or threats are not protected “free speech”.
Obviously we live in a society with a double standard of justice. One standard for Republicans and conservatives and a second standard for Democrats and liberals.
Protest outside the court building....not at personal residences. Tucker had one of his reporters on this evening that was asking Rep. Ilhan Omar walking outside the capital building... her answer was that this was perfectly fine and as the supreme court already ruled on this. Doubt that is true.
No more than laws against slander,libel, or defamation violate the First Amendment.
Persons who act in such way that they violate the law about intimidating justices are actually hoping to prevent those judges from fulfilling their duties to protect the Constitutional rights of those appearing before them. You can’t claim the First Amendment allows you to nullify the rights of another.
You probably think it’s ok for Vito to visit judges or jurors for Fat Eddie’s case.
Derek Chauvin’s attorney forgot to mention this issue while angry mobs filled the streets outside the courthouse where Chauvin was on trial for the murder of George Floyd.
So, you think a fair and impartial court system is subject to coercion??
Let’s turn that table around for a second. What if I came and beat the snot out of you for doing it and threatened you and your family if you do it again? Legal, right? Just a mere assault charge, but no problem, right?
There have been folks w/signs etc, in front of the supreme court for years over various cases, before those cases were decided.
This is the first I know of they went to the homes.
The law specifies both court and home, so if what’s going on now at the homes violates the law, then what’s been going on in front of the court for decades does too.
So, I’m guessing the distinction with 1A here depends on whether or not it’s actually occurring on the property.
Unless someone else can explain why it wan’t a violation of the law to protest in front of USSC for as long as I remember.
I see Bob Casey has flip flopped and will now support the Dems’ “abortion rights” legislation. So much for his claim to be pro-life.
Legality doesn’t matter any more in a country in which a totally corrupt administration blocks the enforcement of laws against themselves and abuses those same laws to punish their enemies.
