Yes, it would be swell if President Biden said something about not harassing the Justices. But the poor schlub who just wanted mental health treatment, well, maybe that doesn't quite rise to an occasion for presidential condemnation. It would make it worse for the "perp" and since there turned out to be "no there there", it would look silly for Biden to cite it as an example. Kinda playing into the hands of "it's not the guns, it's only mental illness" jerks.
As for this court's legitimacy, I think it's fair to question it, especially since the bad-faith crookedness of the MCConnelites vis a vis Garland. Plus we know the final three were appointed by another mentally ill sociopath, (and criminal!)
There was nothing remotely just about the catastrophic collapse of our system for judicial nominees. And because it was a serious breach of decent norms, it does call into question the legitimacy of this court, and the manner in which it was formed.
Of course that doesn't mean harassing the Justices at their homes is okay. However, trying to get their attention through protests is almost an obligation for a functioning Republic.
Question: do the authors here select the illustrations? Because whoever picked the two pointing Spidermen made me laugh. My thanks for that.
