 My choice! My choice! My choice! My choice! My choice! My choice! My choice! My choice! That was a video of protesters demonstrating outside of the home of Justice Brett Kavanaugh. Now there was about a hundred people reportedly and they also walked about a half mile to Chief Justice John Roberts House as well. Apparently they live relatively close so it was easy. So I have a lot to talk about with regard to this but before you do that, I've got one more video for you. You love to see it. Now what came next was predictable. Pearl clutching. Lots and lots of pearl clutching. Of course Republicans are all up in arms and they're claiming that the violent mob is trying to bully the Supreme Court. I mean this is exactly what we'd expect them to talk about. They're going to shift the outrage from the leaker to this because they definitely do not want to talk about the substance of what the Supreme Court did. But one thing that is more irritating to me is the pearl clutching from liberals. For example, White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki tweeted, the president strongly believes in the constitutional right to protest but that should never include violence, threats or vandalism. Judges perform an incredibly important function in our society and they must be able to do their jobs without concern for their personal safety. In other words they should be able to impose their minoritarian views on all of us. Views that are so extreme and barbaric that they literally will lead to women dying but make sure that when you speak out against these unelected tyrants you're incredibly civil and polite. Don't show up at their homes ever in protest even though what they're doing is going to kill people. Yeah, no thanks. But what's interesting is that that sentiment is very widespread with members of the Senate apparently because they are so concerned about the safety of the Supreme Court justices that Republican John Cornyn and Democrat Chris Coons teamed up for a bipartisan bill and they're going to try to rush this through and this bill would essentially provide all Supreme Court justices with around the clock security and this also includes security for their families. How much is this going to cost and how are we going to pay for that? Because I'm told that we can't afford to do anything that helps Americans. We can't ameliorate poverty. We can't have the child tax credit. We can't cancel student debt. So how are we going to pay for this? Where are we going to get the money for this? Also isn't it a little bit stunning how quickly they'll move when it's an issue that affects them? Biden ally and Democrat Chris Coons is teaming up with a Republican to pass a law that protects Supreme Court justices and gives them security. Oh well what about the security for abortion providers? Women getting abortions. What about the security of women who are going to be forced to deal with back alley coat hanger abortions again? Do you not care about them at all or just the elites? Well I mean I think that we all know the answer to that. We all know the answer to that. As these unelected tyrants fuck you over you're supposed to just take it lying down and be polite. Don't speak up too much. Don't be too loud. Don't use any naughty words otherwise the civility police is going to come for you and that includes Democrats as well. Rather than fighting for you currently this is what is being prioritized. Let's give Supreme Court justices around the clock security. They're not the ones who are insecure right now. They're not. It's women. It's marginalized communities. It's immigrants. LGBTQ plus people. They're the ones who need security. Not these elites. Not these tyrants because as Caitlyn Burns put it, Brett Kavanaugh is safer in his own home during these protests than any abortion clinic worker in this country on a daily basis. And that's exactly correct. We have no way of choosing who's on the Supreme Court. We don't get to elect justices. We can barely choose who gets to choose who's on the fucking Supreme Court given how broken our democracy is with no voting rights, with gerrymandering, with institutions that favor the Republican Party. So people have no other way of making their voices heard so they protest and they're protesting in front of these houses peacefully. They weren't threatening violence in front of these houses, but yet all of a sudden just the mere presence of protesters in front of their houses is going to warrant this immediate action to give them around the clock security. It's truly unbelievable. Listen, as far as I see it, this is absolutely good. And the only critique that I have of the protests is that they weren't there for longer and there weren't more people and they weren't at every Supreme Court justices House who did this. Because let's be clear here. They are imposing what they want, their minority views on all of society. So we have no way to hold them accountable. So they should expect to be heckled at every public event they speak at. They should expect protesters at their home every single fucking day for the rest of their lives given how egregious what they're doing is. Everywhere they go, every restaurant that they show up to, they should be ashamed to show their faces in public because people will heckle them as soon as they see them because that's how bad these tyrants are. We have no accountability over them, no way to get them out of office. We can't even hold an insurrectionist on the Supreme Court accountable. So what the fuck else are we supposed to do? Just sit down and take it? I don't think so. These protesters who showed up are heroes in my opinion. Now I want to get to some reactions here. As Shannon Coulter writes, Christine Blasey Ford has had to move four times since the Kavanaugh hearing and I'm supposed to feel bad he has some protesters outside his house? Exactly. And in response to Jen Psaki, Brie Newsom adds, everything comes back to the bipartisan white power structure asserting its own monopoly over violence. We must accept the premise there is a proper civilized way to engage in mass violence and that is solely through institutions established and controlled by the ruling white elite, an undemocratic body of judges first established by colonizers and slaveholders currently includes justices who are arguably unqualified, were forced in against the will of voters, face accusations of sexual assault and or are implicated in an attempt to overthrow the 2020 election. Yet we must pretend this collection of individuals stripping millions of their bodily autonomy is civilized simply because they don formal black robes and call themselves honorable. It's just another example of how brutal state violence is normalized every day in this country with the seemingly mundane processes of government and Brie is exactly right there as they ignore crises that kill us as they impose their will on all of us that kills women. We're supposed to be polite. We're supposed to be civilized, never speak out. The way that you address this is by voting. Fuck that. Okay, sure, we'll vote, but understand that our power to affect change via the vote is waning and Democrats currently in control of both branches of Congress have not passed voting rights. So our ability to affect change democratically through institutions, it's limited and it's going to get worse as time goes on. So the only way that citizens can actually make their voices heard is by showing up to the homes of the Supreme Court justices and making their lives uncomfortable. I'm not saying that they go to their homes and do violence against them. That's not what I'm advocating for. I'm saying they go to their homes and they protest every single day to make them as miserable as they're making everyone else in society. So spare me the pro-clutching to anyone who's sitting here telling people to be polite as this government fucks us over again and again and again. Fuck your civility politics, shove it up your ass. I'm done. If you want effect change in this country, it's very clear that you have to make the lives of these elites hell and these protesters are doing just that. And for that reason, I think that they're heroes in my opinion.
