Left-wing activist groups are planning to send protesters to the homes of conservative Supreme Court justices following a leak indicating the court may soon overturn Roe v. Wade.
The activists are organizing under the moniker "Ruth Sent Us" and have published the supposed home addresses of Justices Amy Coney Barrett, John Roberts, Samuel Alito, Brett Kavanaugh, Clarence Thomas and Neil Gorsuch.
"Our 6-3 extremist Supreme Court routinely issues rulings that hurt women, racial minorities, LGBTQ+ and immigrant rights," the group's website reads. "We must rise up to force accountability using a diversity of tactics."

Fox News is told there has been a strong police presence at the justices' homes following the leak. The group says they will visit the homes on May 11.
The D.C. Police Department has erected fencing around the Supreme Court building in anticipation of escalating protests this weekend. Police have also activated protest-response units through Sunday.
The move comes after a draft copy of Justice Samuel Alito's opinion upholding a Mississippi abortion law leaked to Politico. The decision would overturn Roe v. Wade if adopted by four other justices.
Chief Justice John Roberts described the leak as a "betrayal" of the court on Tuesday and ordered an investigation into the incident.
Republicans on Capitol Hill have also expressed outrage over the nearly unprecedented leak, while Democrats have sounded the alarms in defense of abortion.
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell called for the leaker to be prosecuted, saying the move was a transparent attempt to subvert the court's ruling.
"Somebody, likely somebody inside the court itself, leaked a confidential brief to the press, to stir up a pressure campaign," McConnell, R-KY, said. "Whoever committed this lawless act knew exactly what it could bring about."

They are thugs.
I dont think you know what the word thug means.
I know what it means to you and Eric Holder. I go by the actual definition:
thug
Oh, I see. You decided to defend the proposed harassment of justices by focusing on the picture I used? I didn't specify Warren, I don't even know if she'll be part of the mob going out to harass the justices and their families, but she is part of the dangerous rhetoric.
If you need more evidence, check out post 1.3
Of course they are ...
the home address of every elected maga POS in gov't needs to be published.
Thanks for proving my point.
That's another wrap!
Seems like someone is calling for violence against elected officials. I thought that was a COC violation on this board.
that's quite the reach around, but if that's what you think, I'm sure you and the rest of the free speech crowd can figure out what to do next...
Why do you have something in mind?
Hey....were the Free Speech Crowd, like that's a bad thing. Tells you how far the Democrat party has sunk.
it probably seems that way to those too ignorant to recognize sarcasm.
“…can figure out what to do next...”
Kill those who hold a different view - is that your claim?
I was intimating to flag my comment, but that was obviously rejected, but do feel free to project.
perhaps a summer cocktail party?

I guess women need to face the facts, in the conservative xtian nationalist world, a fetus that hasn't been born yet, has more rights than it's female host and killing medical professionals that disagree are fair religious game. the religious vermin [deleted] are no different than those wackos we spent the last 20 years killing in the middle east
What did conservative justices expect? A parade?
Two in three Americans are mad as hell at them...
No, Americans aren't just going to take it this time!
When did thuggery become an American trait?
Not where I live.
When MAGA appeared.
As with everything else, in 1776, a.k.a. Year 0.
Are we down to repeating the words of the dummy in the White House?
So about the time the left lost an election and a tantrum that continues even today.
Meh, typical that a little brother feels like that .....
TDS is a chronic and abhorrent problem ..
Probably around the Boston Tea Party.
Trolling again?
Trolling #2.
Vic, how harsh. You should refer to him as the Imbecile in the White House.
I think you're right, he earned that title
You don't seem to understand the function of the Supreme Court.
In his decision Alito talked about how easy it has become for women to handle the situation of unwanted children.
Is that sort of "decision" a function of the Supreme Court?
What does any of that have to do with the Constitution?
For sure
I am very familiar with it. I know several liberals and see more arrogant (and elitist) on MSNBC when I am channel surfing

That probably depends largely on where a person believes life begins. If you believe it begins at conception, it's definitely a SCOTUS function to protect those innocent lives. If you believe it begins at birth, it's definitely not the place of the SCOTUS to abridge a woman's right to control her own body.
The thing many people don't like to talk about is that there are defensible arguments for both of those views.
Abortion falls into the vast swathe of issues that aren't directly addressed by the Constitution. So the justices have to do the best they can to apply their understanding of the Constitution to the specific case at hand.
Indubitably

What does abortion have to do with the Constitution?
It's amazing that Alito is attacked by progressives for responding, in dicta, to criticisms leveled by progressives.
If you read the draft opinion, you wouldn't have a problem understanding how Alito dealt with the Constitutional issues raised.
I think that's problematic, too.
If you really believe that abortion is killing a child, how are you possibly OK with that being legal in Oregon?
If you really believe abortion is not killing a child, what right does Alabama have to restrict it?
Do you actually believe that the conservative SCOTUS justices doxed their own addresses? ROFL!
Please provide documentation from unbiased sources.
There's a lot that Americans "aren't just going to take" anymore, and this unscrupulous leak of a DRAFT, not settled LAW, is only the beginning.
BIDEN: "The idea that we're gonna make a judgment that is going to say that no one can make the judgment to choose to abort a child based on a decision by the Supreme Court I think goes way overboard."
Liberal groups will whoop the gop in the midterms!
Anytime you want to make a wager on that, I'm here.
There is no rule against that.

Lol ..... Dems six pack of wupass is coming this summer and fall.
And it is going to be full watching the usual snowflakes here melt
Funny as hell
I'm not so sure. If this happened in October, it would probably help them.
Americans are famous for our lack of attention span.
In middle school, I read that the Confederates claimed something like that in 1861!
Call out to all progressive harpy’s.
It’s warming up, time to leave your basements and tents to protest ......

You don't like what you see? Elections have consequences.
It is not too late to stop. Taking a deep breath may help.
I got a kick out of the "we're not the angry ones" argument from the same poster who upvoted the "Two in three Americans are mad as hell" comment.
Lol, I know it. At least we get to have a few laughs together.
Seems like the phrase "..we're not the angry ones." is becoming a recurrent theme.

Imagine thinking Ginsburg would approve of these tactics.
Such tactics do have the approval of folks like Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot and Goebbels.

Threads @9.1 and @9.2 removed for meta.
Doocy: "These activists posted a map with the home addresses of the Supreme Court justices. Is that the sort of thing this President wants?"
Psaki: "I think the President's view is that there is a lot of passion."
Biden and Psaki are detestable cowards afraid to stand up to the crazies who run the party.
Just say the leak was wrong. Say doxxing justices at putting them at risk is wrong.
They can still argue for legal abortion until birth until they are blue in the face.
Thread @1.3 locked for meta.
IMO that's a brilliant way to make the justices harden their resolve and shove their decision down the liberals' throats. Sure as hell I would if I were a judge. It may also serve to turn Republican voters who would have voted against the candidates who supported that decision into deciding to vote them in for spite. "Stupid is as stupid does." (Forrest Gump)
