Excellent.

What do you think Rehnquist meant by "obtain" property?

[lady lawyer]

According to the opinion, the definition of "obtaining" property under the Hobbs Act entails both a "deprivation" and "acquisition" of property. In this case, the protesters may have "deprived" someone of a "property" right to obtain or perform abortions. But the protesters were not attempting to "acquire" that "property." Hence, no "obtaining," of property, and no violation of the Hobbs Act.
