They’re just offering gentle “sidewalk counseling” to a group of wayward jurists by “offering information about alternatives to [wantonly annihilating constitutional rights and the rule of law] and help pursuing those options.” McCullen v. Coakley, 573 U.S. 464, 472 (2014)

The Supreme Court’s chief security officer has penned letters requesting that top Maryland officials direct police to enforce laws “that squarely prohibit picketing at the homes of Supreme Court Justices” following weeks of protests outside their houses. https://t.co/CJKZyM3zD0
