More demonstrations are planned for Wednesday night at conservative justices’ homes in the Washington area.Tuesday to Attorney General Merrick Garland, Cotton slammed “left-wing mobs” that have protested outside the homes of conservative justices after the draft opinion leaked.
Schumer, D-N.Y., the Senate majority leader, told reporters Tuesday that he was OK with people peacefully protesting outside the justices’ homes, saying such demonstrations are “the American way” and noting that people protest in front of his home in New York “three, four times a week.”White House press secretary Jen Psaki said Tuesday that President Joe Biden believes “violent threats and intimidation of any kind have no place in political discourse.
“I would prefer a softer approach. I would prefer some type of warning to the crowd, much like getting a speeding ticket,” Marshall said. “Sometimes there’s a place for a warning, so I’d like to see those crowds get warnings before we move all the way to prosecution.”
Where the hell were your headlines when the MAGA crowd threatened Dr Blasey Ford and she had to continuously move to save herself and her family? When the anti-abortion loonies threaten the abortion doctors and the women seeking abortions Cotton and Repugs should be ignored.
There's only one amendment that Tom's familiar with (hint: it's not the 1st).
At least the protestors are getting smart. I saw a video of them going around outside Amy Coney Barrett's walking in silence, wearing Handmaid's costumes. If you think that's intimidating. Then I saw you're a sissy.
scottwongDC The military should of pulled up a Paddy wagon and loaded up all the Democratic payed Antifa and BLM. Take them to the FEMA Camps unloaded it, checked their bank accts and back grounds. Take names and kick ass. Where's the 4 homes that cost a million dollar a piece BLM creator.
Cotton is an actor. He knows better. He just doesn’t give a damn
Hey NBC, Maybe you could stop normalizing fascism. That would be great. Please and thank you.
Free speech!
It does not violate the 1st amendment it is a crime to harass judges at their homes & should be enforced but Biden is silent Can you imagine t/outrage if MAGA protesters did this 2 liberal judges? It isn't about abortion it's political opportunism & an attack on Christianity
I wonder if cotton wants the J6 people to be freed
scottwongDC Of course it violates the Constitution-- it is plain that Senator cotton is unmoored from democracy and it's also fairly obvious that many of his colleagues are likewise haters of our Constitution.
Translation=Umm, they are taking a page out of our book on harassment so let’s not be quick to judge.
He does not respect the first amendment he does not believe citizens have rights
Sen. Cotton needs to understand that protests occur when the government fails the people. This is a learning opportunity, not a communism opportunity.
Remind me again, what did he say about these guys.
When they TELL you who they are….
Could?!?!
Could violate?
If they trespass and threaten harm to the justices they should be arrested. If they actually protest peacefully and do it on public property then they have every right. Democrats doxxing the the justices should be prosecuted to the fullest of the law and jailed if appropriate.
BREAKING NEWS: NBC profits off of fear mongering so it irresponsiblly prints the words of an accused insurrectionist who attempted to overturn the 2020 election. nbcsandiego
SenTomCotton do you not like freedom of speech?
Supreme Court held this is legal
Why are you giving this Lying Racist etc a platform? Cotton has proven he is all of the above & we've known it for years. Why is this 'news' to you? MSM has opted for lazy biased scandal laden Sensationalism over fact based objective Journalism. MediaFailsAgain
Repubs in Disarray!
Nope, disturbing the peace and stalking judges, and intimidating judges are illegal.. the Mafia got charged alot for intimidating public servants
Shouldn’t they break into the Capital first?
We want sen. cotton arrested and prosecuted
. GOP: Kneeling for Nat'l Anthem = Bad GOP: Defend parent using Nazi salute = Good . Typical fascists .
For decades extremist anti abortion protesters have been harassing women as they go into clinics to get abortions. But I’m sure Cotton thinks that’s ok. Damn hypocrite
Poor Tommy's panties are in a bunch. Imagine, the NERVE of Americans exercising their First Amendment freedoms! Only Republicans are allowed to do that!
Did Sen. Cotton feel this strongly about the anti-vaxxers and anti-maskers that protested in front of the homes of school board members?
If they are on public property and not causing trouble they are fully in their right to protest no?
This is America. Those protesting peacefully are not breaking any laws.
Senator Cotton is obviously a RINO Communist because he doesn't respect the 1st Amendment. The FBI should be investigating TODAY any connections to China that Cotton may have.
If it were a public space, it would be constitutionally protected speech, but trespassing private property and showing up to someone’s house is not.
🤢
Could? Jesus. Of course it would. Come on.
IIRC running Tory judges out of town on a rail after taring and feathering has an honored place in our revolutionary history with England.
Cotton should read the U.S. Constitution.
