'It’s really nice to have a lot of noise not made by protestors outside my house.' Justice Amy Coney Barrett told a crowd that gave her a standing ovation Thursday evening.

Since a draft version of the Supreme Court opinion that would eventually overturn Roe v. Wade was leaked in May, pro-choice activists have targeted the private homes of the conservative justices of Supreme Court, including Justice Barrett, who is also the mother of seven children.
The demonstrations have largely gone unchecked by law enforcement. In October, the Justice Department was sued by The Heritage Foundation, a conservative think tank that claimed the DOJ failed to comply with FOIA requests for documentation explaining why the department failed to enforce a federal law that protects Supreme Court justices from certain demonstrations at their private residences.
