I'm not a fan of people protesting at politicians' homes. I think everyone deserves the quiet enjoyment of their home, as do their families who aren't in public life.
I particularly condemned protesting against Supreme Court justices, specifically to try to change their votes. That undermines the independence of our judicial system and is a danger to the rule of law.
But Democrats like Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) thought it was just great; heck, she encouraged it.
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer also threatened the justices, like Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh, in the past, because he disagreed with their decisions, saying that they had reaped the "whirlwind" and would "pay the price."
Flashback to Chuck Schumer in 2020:

“I want to tell you Gorsuch, I want to tell you Kavanaugh — you have released the whirlwind and you will pay the price. You won't know what hit you."pic.twitter.com/35rcQVp3sY
"You won't know what hit you!" Schumer proclaimed.
Then, of course, there was an assassination attempt against Kavanaugh, after the Democrats had participated in whipping up all this hatred against the justices.
So, in what has to be considered some supreme irony, the leftist whirlwind that Schumer is frequently whipping up against others showed up at his doorstep on Friday night over the Israel-Hamas war.
Hundreds of protesters arrived at his home last night, demanding an end to the war and calling for a ceasefire. They were organized by "Jewish Voice for Peace" -- a leftist anti-Israel group. Schumer is on his way to Israel, and they doubtless were trying to influence his thoughts.
HAPPENING NOW: Thousands of Jewish New Yorkers are flooding the entrance to @SenSchumer's home protesting genocide of Palestinians in Gaza.

50+ are blocking the entrance to his home, including rabbis, elders, youth, and NY state electeds @ZohranKMamdani and @MarcelaForNY. pic.twitter.com/Z0yzVas7Nx
Tonight, I was arrested with 100+ Jewish NYers from @jvplive @JFREJNYC + @IfNotNowOrg calling on Sen. Schumer to publicly support a ceasefire in Gaza.

As the war drum beats across the US & Palestinians continue to be killed indiscriminately, now is the time to stand up. pic.twitter.com/pnMy7l61Nk
Among the group were two socialist NY Assembly members, Zohran Kwame Mamdani and Marcela Mitaynes.
They were among the 100 who were arrested and piled into two buses. Sources in the report indicated that they would be issued summons for blocking traffic.
But it's just another example of how the left will eat their own, if they vary from the radical policies.
Many pointed out the disparity in response with how the Democrats and the police dealt with protests against Supreme Court justices, invoking the two-tiered system of justice.
So Democrats don’t like protesters outside their homes?

They just like them outside conservative Supreme Court justices’ homes? https://t.co/pog0y1IebQ
Good. Eventually the woke mob always turns on their leaders

I guess what Schumer said about being cool with protests outside his house was just a bunch of malarkey.
