Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh was forced to sneak out of a Washington D.C. steakhouse this week when he was confronted by pro-abortion protesters.
Kavanaugh was having dinner at Morton's when activists showed up and told the manager to kick him out, two weeks after he was in the majority that overturned Roe v. Wade.
The justice was then forced to leave through the back door, Politico's Playbook reported, as fury continues to spread across the country over the court's recent decisions on gun rights and abortion.
The latest targeting of Kavanaugh also comes less than a month after a 22-year-old man was arrested and charged with attempted murder for traveling from California to his Maryland home and threatening to kill him.
In a statement to Politico, Morton's said: 'Honorable Supreme Court Justice Kavanaugh and all of our other patrons at the restaurant were unduly harassed by unruly protestors while eating dinner at our Morton’s restaurant.
'Politics, regardless of your side or views, should not trample the freedom at play of the right to congregate and eat dinner.
'There is a time and place for everything. Disturbing the dinner of all of our customers was an act of selfishness and void of decency.'
ShutDownDC, a protest group, tweeted on Wednesday that Kavanaugh 'snuck out the back with his security detail', and criticized Morton's for 'welcoming a man who so clearly hates women'.
Protesters have turned up at the homes of the justices and singled them out in the weeks since the draft opinion overturning Roe v. Wade was leaked.

Ding..ding..ding… We have a winner!
And again, news from the British press that we won’t report.
This is happening because cowardly leaders are not enforcing the law.
A reckoning is coming in this country. Long past due.
Agree. It is absolutely horrible the assault on the American culture. I worry about fentanyl and how it could be used. I am glad I live in a mostly conservative state.
Lawlessness prevails...it’s that simple.
....."Thurd World Style Mob Rule. This is why our Founding Fathers created a Republic, and not a democracy"......
Moonbat Crazy is right.
Do these people even understand that most abortions are at home by pill and depending on what state you live in, you can still get an abortion?
They are brainwashed by the abortion providers who want as many well developed babies as possible to sell for their parts. Wake up idiots.
My love for waffle House is deep & true ; )
I refuse to eat salads out anymore...just don’t trust the sanitation. We do eat cooked food, however. But, we are in a small tourist town...in a city...very picky
Okay, I’ll ask the question:
How did people know he was there, and in enough time to get a mob there?
she should immediately be charged with causing a insurrection.
That’s ok but step foot on a capital lawn and your in jail months later treated like a murderer.
Believe what we believe. Worship what we worship. Or we will destroy you.
So much for Obamas call for civility.
and gave us the second amendment for when things got out of control.
It's not too late. In fact, TRUTH demands it.
Justice Kavanaugh apparently escaped harm this time. He needs a larger security team if they were unable to protect him and his food.
...” As fury continues to spread across the country from the decision”...
what fury??...only people i see that are pissed about it are the media and democrats. They tried at first to get protests going, but it fizzled out.....this is not the political winner democrats think its going to be. Most people dont even want to talk about abortion...its still at the bottom in terms of being a voter issue.
Maybe Mortons needs to be shutdown. If the manager did not call the police then I would never grace their restaurant again. Hit them in the pocketbook.
I agree. Kavanaugh would do well to grill his own steaks.
