And so should everyone who works for Fox News for not challenging Cruz. Ted Cruz claims a protest outside Justice Alito's home by abortion rights demonstrators was worse than Jan 6 insurrectionSen. Ted Cruz compared rioters at the Jan 6, 2021, Capitol insurrection that left five people dead to abortion rights protestors demonstrating outside of the homes of Supreme Court Justices. On Saturday, a group of about 100 protested in front of the homes of Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Brett Kavanaugh. It is unclear if either Justice was home at the time. Protestors later moved to the home of Justice Samuel Alito, the author of the leaked draft opinion. Cruz in an appearance on Fox News Monday said the protests, which came after the Supreme Court leak that shows the Court is prepared to overturn Roe v. Wade, revealed "complete hypocrisy" by Democrats and the media. "On January 6 of 2021, you had tens of thousands of people peacefully protesting, and yet the corporate media and Democrats slander them with the made-up term 'insurrectionist,'" the Texas Senator told host Sean Hannity. "And yet in this instance, they are not willing to call off their goons even now, even now, as this has the potential to escalate and escalate further," Cruz said, referencing the protestors in front of the Justices' homes. He added: "These images are the latest manifestation of just how extreme, just how radical, the Democratic Party is getting." Fox News and Republican lawmakers have propagated an apparent rumor that Justice Alito fled his home for his safety and has gone to "undisclosed location." Cruz tweeted in response to the unsubstantiated claim, saying "Shameful. And the Biden White House is encouraging this lawless mob intimidation."

I normally don't support protesting in front of someone's home, but since Kavanaugh lied, I'm OK with it in his case. Cruz has problems with the truth even throwing his own daughter under the bus for his disappearance from Texas during the crisis. He doesn't need drugs to lie or weave stories. That's who he is now.
What little I've read is that Biden is asking the protestors not to go to the justice's homes to protest.

I’m sure someone will be able to dig up some footage of Cruz scampering away from the insurrections as they break through the doors and windows, looking for someplace to hide from the peaceful protester tourists.

First of all, I think Cruz is a loon. I don't know if he uses drugs or not, but he is on my list of Republicans that I think are absolutely coo coo for coco puffs crazy (or racist, or just plain mean spiteful people) along with MTG, Bobert, Johnson, Cawthorn, Gosar (and more).
I sure would not like it if a large group of protesters was protesting in my neighborhood, and the potential for mob violence seems to be pretty great.
I would think requiring a permit and limiting the protest to a public place would be a reasonable limitation. I do think that protests should be able to close down a street and process through certain areas to get attention though, but again it would have to be approved in advance by authorities. I do not think they should be allowed on a freeway though.
What goes around comes around. What if Forced Birthers were protesting at a Dr's home, or maybe the home of a clinic landlord? People should be able to feel safe in their homes.

People should be able to feel safe in their homes. But the Supreme Court decided that protesters following clinic employees to protest at their homes was legal. First Amendment rights. In the 90s the Supreme Court held that protesting outside the homes of abortion clinic employees is protected by the first amendment
