I Think Protesters At Judge's Homes Should Be Told To Cease Or Be Arrested

I have said this all along regardless of who is doing the "protesting"...it is not protesting to harass politicians or public servants at their homes, disrupting neighborhoods.
There is nothing special about supreme court justices, they are humans with flaws, nor is there any reason harassing school board or city council members is any different, especially as those kinds of protests are too often involving unhinged people that threaten and intimidate as part of their supposed rights to free speech and protest.

They threatened protestors at school board meetings. They prosecute Jan.6 protestors. They are not going to prosecute protestors they agree with.

I agree with Woodguru but this is a tough problem to solve because of Constitutional guarantees of free speech and the right to peacefully assemble. Many civic authorities are reluctant or slow to act, others act perhaps too soon. However, we have been experiencing protests for a long time and it is fair to fault governmental entities for not having plans and guidelines in place. SCOTUS has provided some guidelines in previous cases.
A side thought: how do you protest a SCOTUS decision if a fence prevents you from approaching their building?

You go to their homes unlawfully and try to intimidate them to affect a court ruling which is against federal law.

They certainly aren't doing anything about peaceful protesters, the school board ones were more than a bit unhinged.
That said I stand on my opinion that protesting at people's homes needs to be stopped, it's a recipe for people getting hurt, and serves no purpose except intimidation and harassment.

Exactly, and that should serve for all public servants.

How do you protest a SCOTUS decision that hasn't even been handed down yet?
You l*****ts sure are into "what ifs, what abouts, and they mights."
Ridiculous at best.

Agreed, protesting at homes is wrong. Also at restaurants and other such places. Protest at the place of business or government. PEACEFULLY. That means no attacking police, intimidation, l**ting, arson, throwing projectiles, etc. Obey curfews and leave when the Police order you to leave. You can come back tomorrow.

Rights to peacefully assemble do not include doing at public servant's homes, and sure as hell not to intimidate and threaten

Your post was far beyond ridiculous...clinging to "the left is over reacting, it won't happen"? It is, and this is when to send the message that this is not going to go over with the american people well.
We'll just do it differently than trump's supporters did when they tried to overturn the e******n
