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.
The Constitution protects Members of Congress from being prosecuted for anything they say at the Capitol or while traveling to or from a session of Congress. The founding fathers never dreamed of the evil people who would make a career of being a Member of Congress.
Constitutional right to have an abortion.
Guess who has never read it he’s from California no surprise there.
It’s all the fault of that gun he was holding./s
Also there's the matter of the fair trial before hanging him. The fair trial always has to happen first, then hang/shoot/electrocute/inject him.
Glad to see CNN and MSNBC run with this story...
Oh, wait. Never mind.
Schumer and Psaki to blame, 100%.
And bogus Attorney General Merrick Garland is doing NOTHING to protect SCOTUS judges!!!!
Is he jealous that he did not get to be on the Court?
In any event, he is derelict in his duty, and does not deserve to be Attorney General either!!!! Nor did he deserve to be asked to speak at Harvard Commencement! PHOOEY!!!!
And doxx the media. Protest at their homes, too.
there isn’t one.
If a perp is white, the media makes sure it’s mentioned. If the perp is a minority, nothing about race is mentioned.
So...he’s after Kavanaugh beause he is white?
I wonder if the FBI put him up to it. I am surprised the police did not stand back and prevent anyone from interfering with him.
There needs to be an immediate investigation of Schumers comments that encouraged violence .
Schumer needs to resign IMMEDIATELY .
Schumers comments are way above anything Trump said before Jan 6th.
Like Biden is doing "everything he can" to lower energy prices?

Yes. CNN and MSNBC both gave it 2 minutes each so far. They did say they would provide additional coverage when they had more information.
The CNN reporter actually went beyond reporting the facts of what happened and connected it with warnings that threats were connected with the abortion case leak and that people on both sides are very passionate about the issue.
She specifically quoted from federal officials and, essentially agreeing with them, said, “This risk really comes from BOTH SIDES of this abortion debate.”
If it were someone who wants Roe v. Wade to be overturned, it would be used to smear ALL conservatives, Christians, Republicans, and Trump supporters. But since it is an abortion promoter, it is important to remind everyone (without evidence) that BOTH SIDES might resort to terroristic threats and actions. Except, so far, it has only been one side.
And that was the point of my earlier post. The leftwing media will quickly move on with other stories since this one does not fit their narrative. If it did, they would run with the story 24/7. We would end up with a June 8 committee that would require all Trump supporters to turn over their private phone, text, and email records in case some kind of link could be imagined to exist. June 8 would later become a national holiday with the express purpose of committing blood libel against Christians, conservatives, and Republicans.
So far neither CNN nor MSNBC have denounced the threat by the abortionist, and they did not rush out to ask for a Democrat to denounce it either.
They are adherents to the ideology responsible for more bloodshed and murder than any other in history, and it is not-even-close.
Leftism.
Kavanagh was doxed by pro-abortion activists on social media along with the rest of the Republican appointed SC Justices.
The perp admitted that he got his address from social media.
“He was taken into custody without incident and law enforcement officers seized both the backpack and the suitcase that were still in his possession. The contents of the suitcase revealed a black tactical chest rig and tactical knife, a Glock 17 pistol with two magazines and ammunition, along with pepper spray, zip ties, a hammer, screwdriver, nail punch, crow bar, pistol light, duct tape, hiking boots and other items, the report stated.”

I’m no expert, but this sounds a bit more serious than the charge of “parading” that Jan 6 protestors have been hit with.
