SCOTUS marshal calls on Maryland, Virginia officials to enforce laws banning protests outside justices' homes

[Gutless Pussy Merrick Garland]

The Supreme Court's top-ranking security official has sent letters to
Maryland and Virginia officials demanding they utilize police and law
enforcement to prevent picketing at the homes of justices.

Supreme Court Marshal Gail Curley sent letters to Maryland Gov. Larry
Hogan, Montgomery County Executive Marc Elrich, and Virginia Gov. Glenn
Youngkin demanding that authorities put an end to picketing and
"threatening activity" outside the homes of SCOTUS justices.

Last month, 26-year-old Nicholas Roske arrived at Supreme Court Justice
Brett Kavanaugh's Maryland home with designs on killing Kavanaugh and then
himself, prosecutors say. Roske ended giving himself up without harming
anyone.

"I am writing to request that the Maryland State Police, in conjunction
with local authorities as appropriate, enforce laws that prohibit
picketing outside of the homes of Supreme Court Justices who live in
Maryland," Curley wrote in her letter to Hogan.

"You recently stated that you were 'deeply concerned' that 'hundreds of
demonstrators have recently chosen to picket Supreme Court Justices at
their homes in... Maryland,' while using 'threatening language' —
jeopardizing 'the integrity of our American judicial system and the safety
of our citizen," the marshal wrote. "Since then, protest activity at
Justices' homes, as well as threatening activity, has only increased."

Curley instructed Hogan to utilize the state police and Maryland's legal
resources to end the protests.

"I would respectfully request that you direct the Maryland State Police to
enforce Maryland and Montgomery County laws that squarely prohibit
picketing at the homes of Supreme Court Justices who reside in Maryland."

In the letter to Youngkin, Curley urged the governor to "enforce state
law" that prohibits picketing outside the home of Supreme Court justices.

Hogan, along with Youngkin, have called on the Department of Justice to
enforce the federal statute that prohibits protests, pickets and other
forms of intimidation outside the home of judges.

It is illegal under federal law to attempt to influence a judge's ruling
or interfere with the discharge of their duty. The Justice Department,
however, has thus far refused to interfere with demonstrators outside the
homes of several Supreme Court justices, including Clarence Thomas, Amy
Coney Barrett and Brett Kavanaugh.

While the DOJ has provided security at the justices' homes, they have
allowed protests and picketing to continue unimpeded.
