Harassment, intimidation aren’t ‘legitimate protest,’ Democrats need to say so

Jean-Pierre can keep stumbling around calling it democracy, but the rest of us see judges being coerced and roads blocked as intimidation and harassment, not protest.

President Joe Biden and the rest of his party should have to answer for how much of this abhorrent behavior they condone.

This issue presents difficult First Amendment issues. It goes without saying that protesting Justice Kavanaugh and his family at dinner is a notable low, and it probably does less than nothing to change anybody’s mind in favor of the protestors. Quite the contrary, I should think. There are probably some other customers who were at Morton’s that night who are now thinking about voting Republican for the first time. These protestors are not the brightest bulbs in the protesting box. Many of them are probably picking up a few extra bucks from the various organizations that sponsor these things and probably couldn’t spell “originalism,” let alone define it or refute it. But they are a cost of living in a free society — within reason, the bounds of which our judges will have to figure out.
