BLM-Linked Group Targeting SCOTUS Justices' Homes Offering Stipends to Activists

[Townhall] A group targeting the homes of originalist Supreme Court
...the political football known as The Highest Court in the Land, home of penumbrae and emanations...
 Justices are, according to their website, paying those who join the efforts in the form of stipends funded by an unknown source that is tied to radical leftist groups including the embattled Black Lives Matter organization.

Going by the name "Ruth Sent Us," a reference to late Supreme Court Just Ruth Bader Ginsburg, the group has been posting online looking for activists with various skills to target Justices at their homes. In a thread posted by Carrie Severino, the organization is seen seeking individuals to participate in "peaceful protests" outside the homes of current Supreme Court Justices who — according to POLITICO's reporting of the leaked draft opinion — joined Justice Alito in overturning Roe v. Wade.

The Ruth Sent Us website also asks, "Are you a muralist or chalk artist? Are you a graphic designer who would like to contribute remotely?" apparently seeking artists for "large-scale art" that will be "included in the protests against the Supreme Court."

"Stipends available," the appeal notes.

But who is standing up this organization or funding its stipends and other activities — and what are the group's intentions when it comes to "large-scale" efforts to protest the Supreme Court?

As Severino explains, the Ruth Sent Us website "links to a different organization, 'Strike for Choice,' which shows connections to groups including Black Lives Matter, Code Pink
... a U.S. anti-war group. The group describes itself as a women-initiated grassroots peace and social justice movement working to end the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, stop new wars, and redirect our resources into healthcare, education, green jobs and other life-affirming activities. It was founded in 2002 by Jodie Evans, Medea Benjamin and of the other usual antiwar suspects. Its website lists hysterical allegations of US war crimes, and states that thousands of civilians were killed in Fallujah in 2004. Maybe it was millions. Benjamin was a 2000 candidate for the U.S. Senate on the Green Party ticket. She lost...
, Women's March SF, Kavanaugh Off Our Court, and Rise Up 4 Abortion Rights."

The obvious connection is made by Severino in subsequent tweets noting that while Ruth Sent Us asks for "peaceful protest" outside of originalist Justices' homes, the organization's ties call their commitment to peaceful expression into question.

"Is that like the 'mostly peaceful' protests burning down cities across the country during BLM, which appears to be connected with this group?" Severino asked before outlining the past plans and activities of the other groups connected to Ruth Sent Us.

"The parallels between this planned protest and the disgusting antics we saw from left-wing dark money groups during the Kavanaugh confirmation are striking," Severino noted.

As Townhall reported previously, Senator John Cornyn (R-TX) introduced a bill to ramp up security for Supreme Court Justices and their families while giving Supreme Court Police added authority to protect Justices, a piece of legislation that's already landed bipartisan support from Senator Chris Coons
...Dem Junior Senator from Delaware since 2010. He won a special election to succeed Ted Kaufman, who had been appointed to the seat when Joe Biden resigned to become Vice President. Previously, Coons was the county executive of New Castle County. Raised in Hockessin, Delaware, Coons was a frat boy at the Amherst College liberal mill. He received graduate degrees from Yale Divinity School and Yale Law School....

#3 Aren't there laws about threatening judges to influence the outcome of a trial?

Isn't it time to start using them?

#4 Never forget that Code Pink took supplies and cash to al'Qaeda in Iraq while US forces were in combat with them. They used a letter of introduction from multiple Congresscritters so Assad would give them passage across Syria. They are traitors, and should have hanged years ago.

#5 ^ But they are strangely silent on US involvement in Ukraine. Maybe when their kids start getting killed there...

#7 The justices should hire Blackwater to do their security. A few mag dumps into the 'protesters' (Terrorists) will demonstrate that maybe they should stay in their cozy little meth dens.

#9 Yes but if they actually do kill or hurt a Justice, I suspect something quite bad is going to happen.

#10 /\ Ask yourself, who currently stands to profit from the resignation, retirement, or death of a Supreme Court Justice.

There, I said it.

#11 I know who profits, but my point is if it looks like the left is killing off Justices to appoint their own, that's not going to go over well with people and the stupidity might reach epic levels. At this rate, there will be a point for some on the normal human scale that are pushed to retaliate and I suspect it won't be an idiot shooting up a baseball game.

#12 ^ The Left is not playing to popularity. Their behavior demonstrates they no longer fear the electorate - as if they already know they will win all future "elections" and have no need to appeal to voters.

#13 I don’t believe that BLM is funding anything other than mansions and blow. Maybe Soros is funneling new cash through the old cell. We will know this happened if they all start driving Bentleys.

#14 Somewhere in this is a criminal conspiracy to abet criminal trespass or judicial intimidation. I'm sure the DoJ/FBI is all over it!
Oh and I want a pony, just sayin'...

#16 ^ That, of course, would not be anything like what the Founders envisioned. As deserving as some of the deep state traitors are, I think we should stick with due process.

#17 Ref # 15, Not sure if your ID card says FSB/SVR/SAVAK/DHS/FBI/CCP but advocating violence and the abandonment of due process is not acceptable. Worse, that is troll or agent provocateur stuff that harms the integrity of the site.

#18 If the judge lives in Virginia it is illegal to protest a residence: https://law.lis.virginia.gov/vacode/title18.2/chapter9/section18.2-419/

Of course the police and legal system will need to enforce the law
