Here is a suggestion or hope for the activists living in Washington. Troll and harass Neil Gorsuch

[Maraya1969]

Just like was done to S. Sanders and the Kirstjen Neilson, ask that he be removed from any restaurants he may be dining in. Or make noise and harass the bastard for being a racist and using his racism on the Supreme Court. And for using dirty tricks to get an appointment to the Supreme Court.

Humiliate the freaking bastard. Shame him for his actions.

Actually you can do it to all the ones who voted for the Muslim ban. They are all ugly racists and that makes them un-American and they shouldn't be making decisions for America if they are un-American.

Fuck them!

1. Impeachment

Should be part of the 2020 platform.

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

26. NO QUESTION!!!

[ProudLib72]

30. Impeach the fucker!!!!

But we don't want him back in CO. He can stay at Mar-a-lago.

[TomCADem]

2. They Should Have Worked to Elect Dems in 2016

This is just meaningless yelling. I am sure the kids who are taken from their parents can feel relieved that Gotsuch is being trolled.

[dixiegrrrrl]

3. I have to share why I can't agree .

The Highest Court in the Land is pretty venerable, and theoretically above politics. I still have respect for it as an institution ( so far),
despite a few clowns infesting it from time to time.

Having said that, I know you can't make good law out of morally wrong decisions, at least not ones that will stand the test of time.

Not crazy about the idea of us going over that line, because our opponents don't need any more ideas about incivility.

[Maraya1969]

4. These justices upholding this racist Muslim ban is incivility as I see it. It is nothing

else. It does nothing to protect our country and they know it. It is nothing but a racist decision done to hurt a group of people and tear us apart as a country.

I lost all respect for these justices after this ruling. I don't understand why they deserve anything at this point.

That is how I see it. I wonder how these justices would behave if they would have to face the consequence of their decisions instead of just being held safely in the quietude of their court.

[Tipperary]

15. Agree.

We seem to be falling into a trap. They are laughing their asses off that we are beginning to act like them. It is no way to win.

[onenote]

5. Bad idea.

Whether or not it's a good or bad thing, from a practical political perspective, to harass members of the Trump administration, harassing SCOTUS justices is not a good idea. There have been strong feelings about SCOTUS justices in the past, particularly from the right wing. But they didn't employ such tactics and I don't think it will serve any purpose other than to be a distraction going into the final months of the election. Our candidates will be asked over and over whether they think its a good thing and they're going to answer that it is not, you can bet a million bucks on it.

6. Shame him? Impossible. That sort of thing just convinces someone like Gorsuch that

he is the heroic defender of the real America against the barbarian hordes. Harrassing them is a waste of time. Much better to spend time thinking of powerful ways to expose the reasons why their actions are evil.

[Maraya1969]

8. Kirston Neilson did nothing but look down when people were chanting at her and then

left. And she was the one who blatantly lied to the American people just days before.

If Gorsuch is with his wife and/or family and is shamed I bet he will take a serious look at what the hell he is doing as a judge.

The reasons why his actions are evil is he is a racist.

[Maraya1969]

7. Some people are saying it is a bad idea and yet didn't Trump reverse the removal of kids from

parents after Kirston Neilson was forced out of that Mexican restaurant?

And let's see how SHS treats the press corps now that she was asked to leave her restaurant because of how disrespectful she has been toward the press corps.

Let's see if it makes a difference. I say that because I think it does make a difference.

[JI7]

13. Gorsuch isn't in same position. He isn't electedby people. Trump is the one

You go after if you have a problem with gorsuch.

[Proud Liberal Dem]

16. Did that directly lead to his reversal?

I thought that widespread outrage had basically made it inevitable that Trump would have to do something?

[AlexSFCA]

9. shaming does not work and counterproductive. Only votes count

[Initech]

10. Agreed, it makes us no better than them.

Let's get out the vote as much as possible, then everything else comes next.

[AlexSFCA]

11. shaming only emboldens the other side

if they made liberals angry then they are doing everything right and need to double down. That’s how they operate.

[Maraya1969]

17. Look at the threads on this site and how everyone is thrilled when one of the monsters gets shamed!

You really are upset that Sarah Sanders was asked to leave the Red Hen? Or the Kirsten Neilsen was forced out of that Mexican restaurant? Do you really wish everyone had been polite and not upset these women?

What about Stephen Miller? Do you wish activists wouldn't have gathered around his home and called him names, (can't remember what they said)?

Maybe you want to talk to England and ask them to not fly the great big baby Trump balloon they are planning to fly when he goes over there because.....that is meant to shame baby Trump.

I really feel like people are talking out of both sides of their mouths here.

18. Shaming is a powerful tool

I'm all for humiliating those who treat our Constitution like toilet paper. It's the least of what they deserve.

[Maraya1969]

21. Thank you for saying this. From some of the posts on this thread you'd think I suggested we

beat the guy up or something.

[MarcA]

23. The peace at all cost crowd always abhors conflict

Failing to realize that such an attitude brings about more
conflict and oppression.

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

31. The VERY least... need to ramp it up!!

[JI7]

12. How about fuck8ng vote ?

[eleny]

19. How about - they stole the election even though we did vote

How about - they denied Obama his Constitutional obligation regarding the court. These both are having devastating consequences.

Humiliation is a non violent tool and I'm all for it.

[JI7]

20. Many did not vote in midterms before 2016 and people here

were celebrating landrieu losing.

[eleny]

22. We voted enough to give Clinton the popular vote

They stole a few sates and won via the Electoral College. Now we're f'd as a nation.

Humiliation is something human beings have a hard time with. Trump is always hungry for good publicity. He's always worried about how his policies make him appear. Humiliating him and his puppets will always have an effect regardless of his lack of conscience.

Targeting him and puppets like McConnell is one way to chip away at the armor. Imo, one reason Paul Ryan is quitting the House is that he doesn't want the humiliation of defeat. Humiliation is more powerful than you think.

[MarcA]

24. Agreed and Voting in gerrymandered districts has limited effect.

Voting is only one of the actions and responsibilities of living
in a Democracy.

[Maraya1969]

14. So soon everyone forgets that Russia gave the most recent election to Trump! We all voted and what

did that get us.

Geeze!

[MichMan]

25. What if RW started harassing RBG everywhere she goes?

or any other SC judges besides Gorsuch?

[Funtatlaguy]

28. She could take it.

[Funtatlaguy]

27. Buy 100 Merritt Garland masks

Pass them out wherever he hangs out.

[obnoxiousdrunk]

29. Why not the guy who

is the swing vote ? He could have gone the other way .
