Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh, one of the conservative justices who voted to overturn Roe v. Wade last month, was forced to exit through a back door of Morton’s Steakhouse in downtown Washington, D.C., by protesters who had learned he was there.

Protesters gathered outside the steakhouse on Wednesday night upon learning that Kavanaugh was inside and called the restaurant’s manager demanding that the justice be kicked out, according to Politico’s Daniel Lippman.

Morton’s condemned the actions of the protesters, writing to Politico: “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,” the statement continued. “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.”

Kentucky governor urges Biden to rescind controversial court pick Florida man sentenced to 20 years for creating instructional bomb-making video for ISIS Kavanaugh was ultimately forced to leave through a backdoor exit after protests built outside the main door of Morton’s.

Kavanaugh is one of the six conservative justices who voted to overturn the Roe v. Wade decision last month, which has led to the outlawing of abortion in a number of states across the. country.

According to Politico, a person familiar with the situation said that Kavanaugh did not encounter the protesters at all and was able to finish his meal before leaving without dessert.

Woke, blue-haired, screeching lesbians and hipsters definitely do NOT go to Mortons

They know who their clientele are. They goddamned well better make a statement.

On a good day liberals are a half-wit. They remind me of drool. They are deficient in all that lends character. They have the personality of wallpaper. They are dank and filthy. They are asinine and benighted. They are the source of all unpleasantness. Liberals spread misery and sorrow wherever you go.

“Woke” protesters don’t G-A-S. They need to be arrested or given a”knuckle”sandwich.

Hm. I guess I don’t really think of Justice Brett Kavanaugh as “conservative.”

Lefties don’t (seldumb) get arrested. If they do they’re usually out in a flash. Good for Mortons though.

“Void of decency” as good a description of the left as any.

I still find it unbelievable that the AG is not looking into this nor prosecuting these laws. Guess he's too busy calling parents speaking out at school board meetings as terrorists.

We now live in totalitarian nation.

It’s always freedom to do what they want, liberals and (D)’s, and not you.

He’s not my fave, but, God bless him, he voted with the majority in Dobbs. And if he never does another good thing is in his life, he’s already done something enormously great in my book.

I’m glad Morton’s manager wasn’t going along with the BS propaganda from the left-—then again, none of the left eat meat so there’s that.
