It's not about forbidding peaceful protests, it just draws a line at judge's private homes; for this, imho understandably, can be seen as having an intimidating effect that is not desired in a nation of law.

Logical, but it's hard to see the toothpaste going back in the tube on this one.  So much of the American identity is about being a rebel, standing up for yourself, and defending yourself (defending, being rather offense-related) against tyranny (another concept that is really thrown around a lot).  There is so much political capital to be made by stoking the fires of unrest, but it's mostly been aimed at sources outside of the USA and now it has become a very "the enemy is here" domestic conflict.

Basically, when your identity and political strategy involves acrimony and "standing up for yourself when justified" you can't expect everyone to read the fine print and warning labels.
