Police in Maryland begin thwarting protests outside Supreme Court justices' homes

After weeks of protests outside the homes of Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Brett Kavanaugh decrying the Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization decision that ended a national right to abortion, police in Montgomery County, Maryland, have begun enforcing federal laws aimed at protecting federal judges.

Protesters are still allowed to protest peacefully outside the Maryland homes of Roberts and Kavanaugh in the Washington, D.C., suburbs, but they must do so quietly, CNN reported. The enforcement came after police received a “flood” of complaints from nearby residents, who have endured two months of protests.
