A law professor at Georgetown University defended pro-abortion protesters showing up to the homes of the Supreme Court justices who appear to have voted in favor to overturn Roe v. Wade.
Pro-abortion protesters showed up to the homes of Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Brett Kavanaugh to pressure them to not overturn the landmark decision that prevents states from making their own laws on abortions.

Josh Chafetz has since locked his Twitter account after substantial backlash, but the initial tweet stated: "The 'protest at the Supreme Court, not at the justices' houses' line would be more persuasive if the Court hadn't this week erected fencing to prevent protesters from coming anywhere near it."
. @joshchafetz locked his account so I guess he leaves folks no choice but to protest outside his home pic.twitter.com/m4svvdcqTu

Chafetz then followed up his take with the following: "And before the 'oh so you support J6 lmao!" trolls show up: the difference is *substantive*. When mobs is right, some (but not all!) more aggressive tactics are justified. When not, not."
This is an *actual* political take of @joshchafetz, a professor of the vaunted @Georgetown - his take is that when ur a bad boy you can’t break the law, but if ur a GOOD boy then you can. This conception of law is so infantile it defies belief that anyone over 6 could say it pic.twitter.com/q2hCSS5J9V

Maybe they’ll suspend @joshchafetz for 14 weeks “pending review” of his tweet after activists from the Federalist Society hold a sit-in and demand reparations in the form of a designated place to cry about the emotional trauma inflicted by his words pic.twitter.com/vQ0MS3hOiL

Sound like protesting at people's homes is upsetting all the right people.
