An armed California man was arrested near Justice Brett Kavanaugh's home between 1:00 and 2:00 am Wednesday and allegedly told law enforcement he wanted to kill the Supreme Court justice, according to reporting from multiple sources that was confirmed by the Supreme Court on Wednesday.
According to SCOTUSblog, a spokesperson for the Court confirmed that "At approximately 1:50 a.m. today, a man was arrested near Justice Kavanaugh's residence. The man was armed and made threats against Justice Kavanaugh."
Sources who spoke with The Washington Post provided additional details:
The man was reportedly carrying "at least one weapon" when he was confronted by authorities. WaPo's report was sparse on specific details, but what was reported is damning in light of the White House's refusal to condemn protests targeting justices private homes:
The individual, described as a man in his mid-20s, was found to be carrying at least one weapon and burglary tools, these people said, speaking on condition of anonymity to discuss an ongoing investigation. Police were apparently notified that the person might pose a threat to the justice, but it was not immediately clear who provided the initial tip, these people said. The man apparently did not make it on to Kavanaugh’s property in Montgomery County, but he was stopped on a nearby street, these people said.
Two people familiar with the investigation said the initial evidence indicates the man was angry about the leaked draft of an opinion by the Supreme Court signaling the court is preparing to overturn Roe. v. Wade, the 49-year-old decision that guaranteed a person’s constitutional right to have an abortion. He was also angry over a recent spate of mass shootings, those people said.
Before she left for her MSNBC gig, then-White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki tried to brush off leftists targeting originalist Supreme Court Justices' homes as just a result of "women across the country [who] are worried about their fundamental rights."
After several justices' homes were subsequently targeted and violent threats escalated, the White House's Karine Jean-Pierre tweeted a too-little, too-late clarification that President Biden only supports peaceful protests.
The arrest of a man with at least one weapon who proclaimed his desire to kill Justice Kavanaugh over the leaked SCOTUS opinion that showed Roe v. Wade being overturned follows violent attacks against pro-life organizations as the left's rhetoric — and actions — against conservatives continue to escalate.
This is a developing story and may be updated.

Well, I suppose that’s one way to change the makeup of the Court...
Bet he’ll receive better treatment than the “insurrectionists”.
I notice he was identified as a white man. If he wasn’t white, want to bet his race wouldn’t be mentioned?
What did they expect?
Remember when Chuck Schumer threatened Justices Gorsuch and Kavanaugh on the steps of the Supreme Court? When will Schumer be arrested and charged? When will Biden condemn the planned killing of Justice Kavanaugh? America is waiting.
Well, in his defense, he was only trying to fight Fascism.
(at least that’s how the Neocons, Democrats, and media view it)
He’ll be out before the day is over.
Yup
Wonder how they are coming on identifying the leaker?
He's guaranteed to Democrat. Democrats murder unborn babies, starve them by a lack of formula, inject toddlers with proven dangerous experimental gene therapies, and when they survive they take them to drag shows to indoctrinate them into all the amoral behaviors they didn't pick up from their Democrat teachers at school. So it isn't a big deal to murder an adult.
They should have performed a 60th trimester abortion on the spot to him.
I’d say the same thing if it was a she or any other race or age, don’t care. All murderers need to be executed. Quickly.
just a little nudge for the folks who think 2CW hasn’t started yet.
see tagline.
I’m sure we’ll hear a chorus of Media-Dem Party members condemning threats of violence, similar to what we’ve heard from them regarding all the attacks on churches and crisis pregnancy centers around the country.
And before you say he didnt murder anyone, he already did in his heart and he was actively attempting to do so.
Remember an attempted murderer is actually just a real murderer who merely failed.
I’m not entirely sure you can’t kill a Supreme Court justice ..as long as he/she is not a leftist.
The mockingbird media is to blame for fomenting all this hate against the Conservative leaning Supremes. CNN, NPR et al should be tried as co-conspirators.
Trump will also be blamed for making the country full of right wing extremists, and causing mild mannered burglars like this to explode.
Next thing we will be told that he was a faithful listener to Daily Wire.
After all, wackos must be stopped by the media.
