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.

OK here’s my question: Who was it on Kavanaugh’s security detail who told the scumbags where to find him?
Insurrection!...where’s the hearings Schiff for brains?
If I were him I’d get a new Security Detail. One that knows how to deal with domestic terrorists. With extreme p………ce.
I’d advise them not to eat out

Why eat out? Its too expensive, food is often not that great, service is generally poor (except for when its time to pay the bill and they suddenly become attentive), drinks are way overpriced, and parking is a hassle. And you’re lucky if the diners around you are not noisy and inconsiderate.
Just put a nice steak on the grill and relax at home. And enjoy a full bottle of good wine for a fraction of the price.
Eating out is way overrated IMO.
This is why our Founding Fathers created a Republic, and not a democracy.

We used to be a republic. Now we’re one in name only.
There was a time not so very long ago these protesters would have received a hickory shampoo and an arrest record for disorderly conduct.
Hi.
In the fwiw department most Florida judges are armed. Even on the bench.

The school where I taught always took the 8th grade to DC as their class trip. We made a stop at a the Maryland House for breakfast and rest stop. As I was walking by a table I recognized Judge Alito. He was not yet a Supreme Court Justice but going through the process. Didn’t want to attract attention to him but did offer him good luck.
Someone should follow the protestors to their homes.
If they were to disappear, no one would miss them.
Here is another twist. If a case comes up before him regarding Antifa and their behavior, the question of recusal arises. After all, was he not harassed by Antifa types? So how can he be impartial? I think this is a hidden aspect of the harassment campaign - force them to recuse on such cases.

So is mine.
This will continue until people start doing the same thing to the communist judges. In our two tiered Justice system the only remedy is to publicly demonstrate the hypocrisy of liberals.
Easy answer - consequences.
These Yobs, who threatened Justice Kavanaugh and his party should be facing strong penalties, but are they?
Now we are beginning to see why people in Central America, for example, organized private militias to deal with communist infiltrators.
Waiting for the news to run a clip of Shumer’s tirade after the leak before moving to cover this deal...not likely.
Exactly. This kind of terroristic harassment and disruption of business cannot be allowed to stand.
Best comment of the thread!
Why is he the primary target?
Yes indeed.
