I also think it's indisputable that the protests outside the justice's homes, and the organization rallying them, are attempting to intimidate or influence the justices and if that is indeed a crime then people should be prosecuted for it.
Yeah as I tried to make clear, I am not disputing said indisputable issue. Rallying in front of someone's private home is at the very least a shitty move aiming at intimidation and fear. Maybe it should be or is a crime. I just don't know (and am the wrong person to determine that) how that fares against the right to freely assemble and freedom of speech.
I admittedly do not trust Barr in that or any other matter though. He is a right-wing ideologue that imho appears to believe that the left has an inherently wrong worldview and that the law should be interpreted under that lens.

At last, I feel the urge to denounce comparing the justice department with Brown shirts (should have done so before), but that's just a sidenote really and for sure not aimed at you. I pack it in anyways since you expressed a similar stance regarding Nazi comparisons.
