The Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations<\/b> (RICO<\/b>) Act<\/b> was passed in 1970 as a way to deal with organized crime. It has since been misused to go after abortion protesters and other people, but it was originally passed to fight organized crime. I think it should be used on any person who violates the law in their protest of the Supreme Court leak regarding Roe v. Wade. On Thursday, The Federalist<\/a> posted an article about plans by an pro-abortion group regarding protests of the recent Supreme Court leak.<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

A left-wing group is gathering abortion activists to march at Supreme Court justices\u2019 homes next week, with stipends available for some protesters who participate in the Roe v. Wade<\/em> crusade.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Beginning on Sunday, the group organized under the moniker \u201cRuth Sent Us\u201d will embark on a week-long demonstration, with plans to protest outside the homes of the six conservative Supreme Court justices, whose alleged addresses have been published on the group\u2019s website.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cOur 6-3 extremist Supreme Court routinely issues rulings that hurt women, racial minorities, LGBTQ+ and immigrant rights. We must rise up to force accountability using a diversity of tactics,\u201d reads the group\u2019s website<\/a>, advertising monetary compensation for recruits. \u201cAre you a muralist or chalk artist? Are you a graphic designer who would like to contribute remotely? Large-scale art will be included in the protests against the Supreme Court. Stipends available.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

What is the difference between protesting and intimidation?<\/p>\n

The article concludes:<\/p>\n

Demonstrators with \u201cRuth Sent Us\u201d appear<\/a> to be coordinating with several allied activist groups including Code Pink, Kavanaugh Off Our Court, and Black Lives Matter. While the website advertises \u201cpeaceful protests,\u201d the recent memories of Black Lives Matter riots terrorizing the country remain fresh in the minds of the public as communities are still rebuilding<\/a>. This week\u2019s violence in Los Angeles offers little comfort.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Harassment of conservative policymakers at their private homes has become an increasingly popular tactic among left-wing activists, who demonstrated<\/a> at Kavanaugh\u2019s home in September over anxieties related to Roe v. Wade<\/em>. Missouri Republican Sen. Josh Hawley<\/a> and Fox News prime-time anchor Tucker Carlson<\/a> have each also suffered from protesters staking out their D.C.-area residences.<\/strong><\/p>\n

There is a difference between protesting and harassment. As soon as a protester steps on your lawn and you ask him to leave, if he stays there, he is trespassing. Trespassing laws need to be upheld. If people want to protest in the street, they should be allowed to, but as soon as a protester steps on a lawn, he should be arrested.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
