@jessjoho I think voting to attack the Constitutional rights of Americans is a grave act even if you end up not being able to persuade a majority of judges to support you. Would a right-wing protest in front of RBG's house have been justified had she won in Heller or Citizens United? — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@AGHamilton29 @NathanJRobinson Right, I pointed that out. Same with Citizens United (conservatives, and the ACLU, regarded the liberal votes as an attack on free speech rights). The honest ones admit that house protests are permissible when the justices contravene the liberal view. https://t.co/4TfMwChOvj — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@jessjoho In the 2008 Heller case, 5 Supreme Court Justices voted for a more expansive view of the 2nd Amendment's gun rights while 4 liberal justices voted for a restrictive one. Would a right-wing protest in front of Ruth Bader Ginsburg's house have been OK? https://t.co/QfXuWTVB8e — PolitiTweet.org

@MultaniSaint @HeerJeet We'll see what happens when the first right-wing protest happens in front of the house of Sotomayor or Ketanji Brown Jackson or AOC. I think the double standard will become even clearer then. Nobody minds the Schumer protests because the protesters are liberals. — PolitiTweet.org

@bklyn_g @zfurnas You're literally paid by neo-Nazi groups to attack Jewish and LGBT journalists online, leaving you with little credibility to talk about other people's revenue streams. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@HeerJeet I don't why you and your neoliberal friends can't understand simple arguments, but I have no problem with citizens peacefully protest in front of the homes of powerful officials. My problem is when there are double standards based on the officials' ideology. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@The_Blair_Lair As I said from the start, I have no problem with people protesting in front of the homes of powerful officials. So that tweet you found is 100% consistent with my view. I only have a problem if it's deemed permissible only when that official has a certain ideology. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@jessjoho If Sonia Sotomayor votes to interpret the Second Amendment to exclude the right to bear arms, or to include a narrower version of gun rights than conservatives believe is guaranteed by the Constitution - as they've done - is it OK to protest in front of her house? — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@zfurnas Weird how you think that liberals -- who favor a union of state and corporate power to censor their adversaries -- are the antithesis of fascists. — PolitiTweet.org

@ZaidJilani @NathanJRobinson Winning is not the goal of people like this. Feeling superior is. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Ethics and principles of such a self-serving double standard aside, how do liberals convince themselves that people will accept dictates that hold that because liberals are so inherently superior politically and morally, they are exempt from the rules imposed on their inferiors? — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Liberals are now explicitly arguing that it's permissible to protest in front of a Supreme Court Justice's home *if and only if* they issue a ruling that enrages liberals and that liberals regard as a grave injustice, but not if their ruling enrages conservatives. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@BenBurgis I personally don't have a problem with protests in front of the houses of powerful political officials. I only have a problem with the notion that it's permissible if the official is on the right but not the left, as @NathanJRobinson suggested. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@NathanJRobinson So it's permissible to protest in front of the house of a Supreme Court justice if they issue a ruling that enrages liberals and that liberals believe is gravely unjust, but not if they issue a ruling that enrages conservatives and that conservatives believe is gravely unjust? — PolitiTweet.org

@MSignorile @PressSec @POTUS Fair enough. I'm in agreement. I just think the protest standards should be consistently applied. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@MSignorile @PressSec @POTUS Perhaps you missed news about this: https://t.co/OBEIs4mvOP Do you believe it's permissible to peacefully protest in front of AOC's house? — PolitiTweet.org

@_Ali__B What you're doing is called "Whataboutism," a technique invented by Soviet Russia to change the topic from your side's flaws to the other side's. As I understand it, those who use it are likely Kremlin agents. Hope the rubles are worth it, comrade. — PolitiTweet.org

@CDCarter13 No, I have genuine and long-standing contempt for your mentality: that because you perceive yourself as morally, politically, and intellectually superior, then it means that you're exempt from the rules and limits you believe should be imposed on those inferior to you. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

This unhinged and unstable pathology, masquerading as a political ideology and movement, was the dominant sentiment in American liberalism (and liberal media) for the four years of the Trump presidency, and many of the symptoms are chronic and linger and fester to this very day: — PolitiTweet.org

@VladDavidzon @mattsteinglass Just because you assert on Twitter that I've supported Russia's invasion of Ukraine doesn't make it true, no matter how many Atlantic Council likes you pile up with your lie. Rejecting the falsehoods of your Atlantic Council crowd isn't the same as supporting Russia's invasion. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@CDCarter13 Nobody is going to accept your self-glorifying dream world where it's fine to protest in front of Mitch McConnell's house but not Pelosi's, or in front of MTG's house but not AOC's, or Alito's but not Ketanji Brown Jackson's, no matter how many Dril tweets you cleverly post. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@CDCarter13 No, you imbecile: you get nothing. You're not entitled to live under a different set of rules and principles than everyone else based on your belief that you and your allies are morally and intellectually superior. — PolitiTweet.org
