As long as you are on a public street and sidewalk. As long as you don't disturb the peace, be violent and/or make threats.

It is protected by the First Amendment.

I was shown this law by people claiming that it's against the law.

18 U.S. Code § 1507 - Picketing or parading

Whoever, with the intent of interfering with, obstructing, or impeding the administration of justice, or with the intent of influencing any judge, juror, witness, or court officer, in the discharge of his duty, pickets or parades in or near a building housing a court of the United States, or in or near a building or residence occupied or used by such judge, juror, witness, or court officer, or with such intent uses any sound-truck or similar device or resorts to any other demonstration in or near any such building or residence, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than one year, or both.

Nothing in this section shall interfere with or prevent the exercise by any court of the United States of its power to punish for contempt.


What they are ignoring the vital part is the "in the discharge of his duty". When they are in the discharge of their duty, then it is against the law as per the statute.

1/6 is one example.
 
...in or near a building or residence occupied or used by such judge, juror, witness, or court officer...

Since when did any judge, juror, witness, or court officer work (discharge of their duty) from home? It's obvious that the above law applies to a large protest gathering outside of the home of any one of those people with the intent to influence their decisions when they are in court.
 
And how does the right protest?



They go to grocery stores and shoot black familes while they shop for food or work their job

Which part of influencing someone at their home when they subsequently go to court did you miss? You can't protest at their house to influence their decisions in court.

How do you influence their decisions when they are not in the discharge of their duty? They could be painting their walls or not be home. If it was me, I'd order them all pizzas and discuss the case with them.

So basically you think they are so weak minded that mere words can change their minds? Well I guess I could do a Jedi mind trick on them.

We've seen the "mostly peaceful protests" orchestrated by lefttards.

Burning cities to the ground and beating business owners in the streets for 6 months while the police are told to stand down.

Nope. It's everyone on the right who all of sudden are Constitutional law experts, citing a law claiming that it's illegal to picket near judges' homes.
