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.

Why would he do that? Kavenaugh votes his way 90% of the time. And is this guy worried he’s gonna get knocked up?
Weirdo...
Democrats cling bitterly to their baby butchering.
The WH basically told any idiot to do just such an act!!!!!!!
INSURECTION!
“...allegedly told law enforcement he wanted to kill the Supreme Court justice,...”
It seems strange that the man caught carrying a gun near Kavanaugh’s house would ADMIT that he wanted to kill a SC justice. Why would he admit that?
Because he’s a nut!
Also, he wants his place in history or at least Wikipedia.
Guns good.
Oh yeah... I will be giving up my weapons when they are outlawed. NOT!
Thanks. Yeah, the lib lady raising a plastic, yes, PLASTIC, coat hanger.
FALSE FLAG intended to STRIKE FEAR IN SCOTUS to avoid overturning Roe v Wade.
Another murderous Democrat
Well now his statement about wanting to kill Kavanaugh could get tossed if he wasn’t advised of his Miranda rights. What goes around comes around.
Jan. 6 a threat to constitutional American democracy and insurrection? Senator Schumer and other democrats have repeatedly threatened violence against the Supreme Court and have financed their stormtroopers to harass and threaten the Justices and their families. Schumer should be held accountable, imprisoned without bail and removed from the Senate.
Now where’d i put my give a damn?
See my tag line.
Live accordingly.

If successful in shooting a conservative Supreme Court Justice, who would appoint a new one to the Court, liberal Prez Joe Biden, thereby changing the political composition of the Court away from a conservative majority?
Roe vs Wade guarantees “a PERSON’S” right to an abortion.”
Cuz boys can have abortions too!
No shock here. People like this already think murder is fine.
