A New York Times opinion writer urged the pro-abortion activists 
protesting outside the house of Supreme Court justice Brett 
Kavanaugh to escalate their illegal protests.

Lindsay Crouse, who earned notoriety after disclosing that her 
ex-boyfriend is dating Lady Gaga in a 2020 op-ed, said in a May 
8 tweet that protesters should target the Chevy Chase Club 
because that way, she said, their cries "will reach not just 
Kavanaugh but also Justice Roberts—both are members." She 
deleted the tweet, but only after it elicited praise from 
activists who shared the address of the club across the platform.

There is a near consensus among legal experts that targeted 
protests against federal judges are criminal. A 1950 law 
expressly prohibits any picketing "with the intent of 
interfering with, obstructing, or impeding the administration of 
justice, or with the intent of influencing any judge."

Times guidelines bar staff from "posting anything on social 
media that damages our reputation for neutrality and fairness."  
Crouse’s posts come just over a month after the paper’s 
executive editor, Dean Baquet, issued a memo to staff pressing 
them to spend less time on Twitter and said its extensive use 
would "damage our journalistic reputations." That memo was 
prompted by internal concerns that the conduct of some staff may 
interfere with the ability for others, such as court reporters, 
to cultivate sources or gain access.

Baquet also pressed staff in 2017 to exercise transparency after 
removing a social media post and "quickly acknowledge the 
deletion in a subsequent tweet." Crouse did no such thing.

Neither the Times nor Crouse responded to a request for comment.

Crouse’s tweets are the latest example of bubbling tensions 
between staff who want to openly advocate for their political 
views and management who wish for the paper to appear impartial. 
The Times, which has been the epicenter of the debate in legacy 
media over objectivity, fired editor Lauren Wolfe last year 
after she tweeted that she felt "chills" after seeing President 
Joe Biden’s plane land.

Aside from columns asking questions such as, "How do you compare 
yourself with Lady Gaga?" after she dates your ex, Crouse has 
written about how former Supreme Court justice Ruth Bader 
Ginsburg served as her "fitness idol." Her focus for the Times 
opinion section is "gender, ambition, and power," according to 
her author bio.

Since the leak of the draft Dobbs decision, conservative 
justices have been the target of heated protests outside their 
homes. On Wednesday, the Washington Free Beacon reported on an 
internal DHS memo outlining threats from pro-abortion extremists 
against members of the court and clergy.

"Domestic violence extremists (DVEs) and criminal actors have 
adopted narratives surrounding abortion rights to encourage 
violence, likely increasing the threat to government, religious, 
and reproductive health care personnel and facilities and 
ideological opponents," the memo reads. The memo later states 
that most of the threats against justices and their staff are 
circulating on social media.

Earlier this month the Senate passed a bipartisan bill 
bolstering security for members of the Supreme Court and their 
families. That legislation has since stalled in the House, with 
Democratic leadership refusing to provide a date for an expected 
vote.
