A radical leftwing group is laying plans to shut down the Supreme Court in response to a leaked opinion that overturns Roe v. Wade, the Washington Free Beacon has learned.
#ShutdownDC is planning to block streets adjoining the Court to prevent the justices and their staff from reaching their chambers. Organizers acknowledged their operations go beyond constitutionally protected activity, and they referenced the likelihood of arrests and clashes with law enforcement during a Tuesday night briefing the Free Beacon monitored.
"One of our goals would be to expand the current political crisis by shutting down the Supreme Court," one of the organizers said. The group planned the blockade for Monday, June 13, a day when the Court will likely hand down opinions.
#ShutdownDC is concocting its ploy amid continued concerns over the Supreme Court's security and that of the justices following the unprecedented leak. The Department of Homeland Security's intelligence arm circulated a memo in May warning of a sharp rise in threats to the High Court. Law enforcement is investigating violent threats from pro-abortion extremists against members of the Court as well as the Court building itself, the memo said.
The Tuesday night briefing included more than 60 activists and was led by four or five organizers, some of whom concealed their identities. The presentation included a detailed "tactical" plan for blocking access to the Court's underground parking garage, which is the primary entry and exit point for employees and justices.

Does the FBI have informants in the ranks of this group? Will there be arrests?
All I can say is that I hope they televise it.
If this does not fit the definition of an insurrection, then nothing does.
I guarantee you they will need no permits and will get away with this with no arrests and no months without charges in the DC gulag.
Sounds kind of insurrectiony with threats and stuff
I want to see what happens there has to be a limit to what they can do there is a fence around the Supreme Court building right now that is certain.
I doubt any punishment will be serious I tend to agree with you on that point.
Ooooh... “battle plans”. I love the sound of that. I have some battle plans of my own.
sounds like an insurrection.
Can you expect anything different from those that want to murder unborn babies?
I doubt if the FBI has shown any interest in this bunch. They may be even advising them. Either way, you get bet that even if they make a show of arresting a few people, the charges will be dropped, and maybe they’ll even get compensation for the inconvenience.
If so, expect Biden to sbow up to.support his anarchist allies.
Wonder if they’ve heard of zoom or Skype?
I’m waiting for the cries of disgust and condemnation from Democrats and journalists over this threat to our “sacred institutions.”
They are probably busy grooming a unstable Trans person on how to be an aggressive pro-life activist.
The FBI IS the group.
It was bad enough in DC for the inauguration of 2016. Thousands of antifa types filled the city. Some were busy breaking windows and looting stores but most of them were trying to prevent people from getting through the security checkpoints Obama had made it more difficult for Trump supporters simply by reducing the number of security checkpoints than there were for his inauguration and they had not had to deal with crowds of people trying to prevent his supporters from getting through checkpoints onto the mall. Conservatives allow leftists to enjoy their celebrations.
Many people went to DC and never got through security. Others, reasonably fearing for their safety, simply did not go.
