MORTON’S SPEAKS UP (Steakhouse)
Powerline ^ | July 8,2021 | BY SCOTT JOHNSON

Posted on 07/08/2022 12:37:49 PM PDT by Hojczyk

MORTON’S SPEAKS UP The harassment of conservative Supreme Court justices manifested at Morton’s in the District of Columbia on Wednesday evening. While Justice Kavanaugh ate dinner at the downtown steakhouse, protesters were tipped to his presence. The protesters showed up out front, called the Morton’s manager to tell him to kick Justice Kavanaugh out, and later tweeted that the justice was forced to exit through the rear of the restaurant.

In response to to a request from Politico for comment, the Supreme Court offered nothing on the justice’s behalf. Morton’s, however, was not so shy. A spokesman for Morton’s sent Politico’s Daniel Lippman this statement:

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.

Politico’s Ryan Lizza and Eugene Daniels seem to think it all a big joke. They run the scrupulously reported story in their morning round-up with the tag: “THE RIGHT … TO EAT DINNER.”

Disagreeing with the constitution and the Supreme Court in such an offensive manner is not politics. Mr Morton spokesman.

Eating is a natural right. Simple as that.

“ Same party, different name.”

And the elites of both parties are wholly owned by the CCP.

The right to eat dinner!

We should go with that. I am sure its a “penumbra right” the lefties are so fond of. Claim it! Have hearings about it!

"Who at Morton’s tipped them off?"

It was in DC. DOJ heads, FBI heads, CIA heads, Union thug heads, Congresspeople, Senate people, Whitehouse staff, Lobbiests, Pentagon people, ALL have dinner there while selling out the Constitution and the American people.

The GOP , sensing they have a big lead in the midterm elections, choose to lift off the throttle with 4 laps to go in the big race.

“ It’s not sportsmanlike and certainly not fair to our great friends across the aisle to enjoy a sizable lead, therefore, we choose to slow down to level the playing field and let the rest of the field catch up.

>>Who at Morton’s tipped them off?

How did the tipster know who to call beforehand?

Were the waitstaff at high end restaurants around the DC area given business cards in advance with contact numbers?

I was thinking that the tipster was a working college student, sadly I believe that you are correct.
