No to all the above. If laws mattered a team of police would be cuffing all the protesters and taking them to jail for breaking protesting laws at judicial residences. Until taxpayers demand enforcement of the laws or resignations, nothing will change.
It's a lot more specific than making it illegal to protest "someone."
The code protects due process by prohibiting the intimidation of court officers, witnesses and jurors.
And until and unless it is overturned...it is constitutional.
18 U.S. Code § 1507 - Picketing or parading
Whoever, with the intent of interfering with, obstructing, or impeding the administration of justice, or with the intent of influencing any judge, juror, witness, or court officer, in the discharge of his duty, pickets or parades in or near a building housing a court of the United States, or in or near a building or residence occupied or used by such judge, juror, witness, or court officer, or with such intent uses any sound-truck or similar device or resorts to any other demonstration in or near any such building or residence, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than one year, or both.
Nothing in this section shall interfere with or prevent the exercise by any court of the United States of its power to punish for contempt.
(Added Sept. 23, 1950, ch. 1024, title I, § 31(a), 64 Stat. 1018; amended Pub. L. 103–322, title XXXIII, § 330016(1)(K), Sept. 13, 1994, 108 Stat. 2147.)
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
Standing in somebody's front yard with a bullhorn and a few hundred other assholes screaming that they are going to rape your grandchildren is not "peaceable" assembly. Go fuck yourself commie.

^This!
The leftish protestors of all kind ALWAYS demand something and even more, especially on twitter! Not so much the normal taxpayers!
Think about it. Why? Or better why not?
They are useful idiots.
FBI is assho and FBI is enemy of the people.
That US Code sounds unconstitutional to me.
Ok, well, you're wrong.
How am I wrong? That code literally makes it illegal to protest someone.

There's lots of laws making things legal for government to do that don't abide by the Constitution.
I don't see how preventing miscreants from obstructing processes prescibed in the Constitution is unconstitutional.
