Around 7:25 p.m., about two dozen protesters played drums and chanted protests at the entrance to the Fairfax Station neighborhood of Judge Clarence Thomas. Protesters made no attempt to enter the private highway while a pair of Fairfax County police cruisers sat on the spot.
Most carried signs calling the judges “liars,” “Abortion is health care,” and “What other rights will take away from them?” The group shouted phrases in unison like “My body, my choice” and “Our rights are not up for debate!”
A spokeswoman for the U.S. Marshals Service, which in recent months has increased the number of deputies assigned to safeguard the courts, said in a statement: “In view of the rising security concerns arising from the decision of the Supreme Court to Revoke Roe V. Wade, the U.S. Marshals Service continues to assist the Supreme Court Marshal with the responsibility of protecting the U.S. Supreme Court and its facilities. specific, we continuously review existing security measures and take appropriate measures to provide additional protection when necessary. “
