As the fight over abortion rights increases, abortion advocates protesting outside of the Supreme Court justices’ homes is also increasing. As a result, Republican Senator John Cornyn of Texas has co-sponsored a bill with Democrats to provide extra security, including protective details for the judges and their families.
White House press secretary Jen Psaki tweeted out that the president strongly believes in the constitutional right to protest, but that should never include violence, threats or vandalism.

.@POTUS strongly believes in the Constitutional right to protest. But that should never include violence, threats, or vandalism. Judges perform an incredibly important function in our society, and they must be able to do their jobs without concern for their personal safety.
