The Supreme Court’s marshal has written to top Maryland officials asking them to enforce state and county laws that prohibit picketing at private homes.
In the past week, Curley continued, 75 protesters “loudly picketed at one justice’s home in Maryland for 20-30 minutes in the evening, then proceeded to picket at another justice’s home for 30 minutes, where the crowd grew to 100, and finally returned to the first justice’s home to picket for another 20 minutes.”
In a letter to Marc Elrich, the executive of Montgomery County, Curley said a separate county law prohibits picketing “in front of or adjacent to any private residence.” She noted that the author of the county ordinance has urged county officials to enforce the law against protesters who gather outside the justices’ homes.after flying to Washington from California and taking a taxi to the home of Justice Brett Kavanaugh.
The court’s marshal is ultimately in charge of court security and the Supreme Court’s own police force. Both letters, dated Friday, ask the officials to direct state and county police to enforce the anti-picketing laws.
