There are things I may agree or disagree with when it comes to controversial issues such as abortion (It really could be any issue people feel excited about i.e. elections, taxes, police, legislation, etc...). Yet whether left or right in one's leaning we want the judicial branch to be as reasonably independent as we can make it. It is part of the three legged stool that keeps our society together. We will be moving into new era as information, ideas, economic shifts and cultural adjustments spread in society (globally). Some will be good and some won't be so great. I believe it is best to maintain the lines of independence and keep official's families as far away from these issues as possible (I know how this can work...my family and I were targeted for having a different religion and race than some others.).
Once people begin to protest outside homes it creates a type of boundary crossing between home and work. In some ways it can also put people at risk because people who staunchly believe in their opinions (i.e. Capitol Riots and/or Abortion) are willing to cross boundaries when emotions become heightened or the crowd angry (Not necessarily here but I think it would be best if people protest at the court or in some other venue if people believe it is helpful.). Not necessarily today, as protests are thus far peaceful, I applaud that peacefulness, but that the precedence starts to form where staunchness of political beliefs erode our civilities. This is why I advocate for our different political parties to start thinking about the long term health of the nation. I encourage people to start voting for centralist candidates that help draw people together.
What do you think?
