Democratic Operatives Call for Harassment of SCOTUS, Give Out Justices’ Home Addresses

PALO ALTO, CA — A website organizing mass demonstrations in the Washington, D.C. area from May 8–15 appears to be headed up by the treasurer of a Democratic PAC in the Palo Alto area. The website RuthSent.Us not only calls for a “diversity of tactics”, a term often used by Antifa to connote violence and vandalism, it lists the street addresses of six SCOTUS justices and calls for protesters to visit their private homes on May 11. RuthSent.Us is registered to Sam Spiegel of Palo Alto, CA, who also was the treasurer for the Unseat PAC, which was used to lobby Silicon Valley companies to withhold donations to the GOP in an effort to force Donald Trump to release his tax returns. The website Unseat.com was also used to promote the campaign, but was ultimately taken down at the end of the Trump administration.

RuthSent.Us uses Antifa term “diversity of tactics” which generally connote violence, vandalism, and arson.

RuthSent.Us features an interactive map with the street addresses of the six Supreme Court justices who support the apparent reversal of the Roe v. Wade decision in the recently released draft opinion written by Justice Samuel Alito and leaked to Politico. In addition to calling for opposing the justices’ decision in protests targeting their homes in a “Walk-By Wednesday,” the website also offers stipends to those willing to help with the plans. The website states “Our 6–3 extremist Supreme Court routinely issues rulings that hurt women, racial minorities, LGBTQ+ and immigrant rights. We must rise up to force accountability using a diversity of tactics.”

Although only one page, the site also allows visitors to sign up for activist Facebook groups and follow social media links for the project. A form on the site links to a sign-up page on StrikeForChoice.org where visitors can sign up for various roles, including “direct actions” staged at Whole Foods Market or AT&T. Direct action is a term used by far-left radicals to refer to extremist protests involving vandalism, arson, and violence. Representatives of RuthSent.Us could not be reached for comment.

Capitol Police have already surrounded the Supreme Court complex in Washington, D.C. in response to protests and threats. There are also reports of increased security at the homes of Supreme Court justices in response to threats of harassment.

UPDATE 5/6/22: Google Maps has removed the map showing home addresses of SCOTUS justices from RuthSent.Us due to a violation of their Terms of Service.
