Shut it down: Radical leftwing group draws up battle plans to blockade Supreme Court Leaders encourage protesters to 'stretch the bounds of constitutionally protected speech'

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?

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.

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.

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.

I’m waiting for the cries of disgust and condemnation from Democrats and journalists over this threat to our “sacred institutions.”

"And the 1/6ers are still wasting away in D.C. jails."

In the aftermath of January 6th, it was conveniently forgotten by the Democrats and the media that leftist groups had promised to shut down DC and even the entire country if Trump had won the election. Given what we saw in the summer of 2020, I have no doubt that is exactly what they would have tried to do. The violence would have made January 6th look like a picnic.

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.
