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.
Maybe they’ll put him in John Hinckley’s cell in leg irons like the did Navarro.
Ok, turn-about is fair play. Let's "doxx" the other ones and have peaceful protests outside THEIR homes, carrying "BABYKILLER" and "ABORTION IS MURDER" signs. See how much more protection THEY receive!

I remember, just over fifty years ago, some reporters banged on a Supreme Court Justice’s door in the middle of the night. When he opened the door the reporters found themselves facing a Justice with a large firearm pointed at them.
Anyone remember it?
House number clearly visible on the NY Post photo.
There was a special Google Map overlay on the “Ruth Sent Us” (or something like that) web site showing EVERY SCOTUS Justice’s home.
.
It wasn’t an individual Doxxing. It was a registered Democrat Group that openly published their names and addresses, and told people to dispatch to their homes.
.
The guy is taking one for the team, to help push gun control.
He will be lauded, like Hinkley is, with his sold out concert.
.
Ruth Sent is was the first.
Dem registered groups and the White House was asked to denounce it, and Biden refused.

How did this man know where Kavanagh lives? That should be confidential information.
Thanks for the information.
Who incites whom?
Isn’t Kavanaugh white? Not seeing any race angle here at all.
That’s my take on it. “Be afraid, SCOTUS. Be very afraid!”
I notice he was identified as a white man.
My bet is that he is. They just have to hold the name while they scrub his social media history and recreate his back story.
I have not read into it. Was it a right winf extremist covered under dhs advisory?
White supremist ?
The man is from California, but with this being Montgomery County, MD, most of the people thought he was one of their own. Ba-dum-tissshhhh!
Thanks, I’ll be here all week. Try the veal.
Was he wearing a viking outfit and invited into residence by capital police? Was he a FBI informant? If so, he is screwed, otherwise, justified.
black man, Asian man, Indian man, or white liberal man?
