We’ve seen a variety of protests this summer.
The anti-ICE crew in Portland probably wins the most annoying award for how they have ticked off the neighbors who live near the ICE facility. They’ve even sparked a lawsuit and faced vigilantes throwing things at them. They’ve been camped out near the facility for about the last month and a half.

But perhaps the silliest, most elite protest was the “kayak protest” against Chief Justice John Roberts near his summer home in Maine on Saturday.
It was a kayak protest – they had about 20 kayaks. They peddled near his house and held up tiny signs that you could barely see. I’m not posting video from the protesters because it essentially identifies where Roberts’ home is.
We’ve already seen that protests against Supreme Court justices can lead to other problems.
This protest against Roberts in Maine was peaceful.
Here was the statement they released.
“United States Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts presides over the most rightwing Supreme Court in almost 100 years,” the group’s press release states. “Roberts has delivered the majority vote for President Trump’s every dictate, even granting him immunity from prosecution for any crimes he commits while he is the President. The Roberts Court is historically unpopular with the public and violated the United States Constitution; Roberts has been the deciding member of the six Justices supporting a far-right political agenda. Now is the time to demand resistance to tyranny from people in positions of power, as we move closer to a dictatorship.”
Now, this is hilarious for a variety of reasons. Saying that Roberts has delivered on Trump’s “every dictate” means they don’t understand the decisions of Roberts. Calling him a “far right extremist” is pretty funny. It is wrong to call Trump that. They have a truly warped perception of what “far right” means. It’s also amusing to cast Trump as a tyrant or dictator when he has probably cut the power of government more than anyone I can remember. Not to mention that his chief priority seems to be to free Americans from people who are real oppressors.

They also don’t understand the immunity decision if they think that it gave President Trump a pass for “any crimes he commits while he is president.”
Kayaking to demonstrate how you’re being oppressed is not exactly a great look. Can you have a protest that is any more elitist than that?
And so, did Roberts come out on the porch, wave, and say, “You got me now, guys, I’m changing my mind to agree with you”?
Well, no. I think it’s fair to say that this ridiculous effort will have absolutely no effect on the Supreme Court.
People had fun mocking the protest.
Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillion tweeted, “[L]ol – talk about privilege — kayak-based resort protest. What next, serve him an improperly seasoned lobster roll to underscore your incoherent point?
Christopher Scalia, the son of the late Chief Justice Antonin Scalia, snarked, “Protesting is fine, but this is going overboard.”
