A man was arrested early Wednesday morning near the home of Brett Kavanaugh for allegedly attempting to assassinate the Supreme Court justice, the Court confirmed.
The suspect, a 26-year-old male, told law enforcement he wanted to kill Kavanaugh. The man, whose name is unknown to the public, reportedly last lived in Seattle and has a California driver's license. "The man apparently did not make it on to Kavanaugh's property in Montgomery County, but he was stopped on a nearby street," reportedThe Washington Post, citing sources familiar with the investigation.
Court spokeswoman Patricia McCabe told the AP that the suspect was arrested at about 1:50 a.m. Wednesday. The AP reported that the suspect was armed "with a gun and a knife" and confirmed the Washington Post's reporting that he told law enforcement he wanted to kill Kavanaugh.
The suspect was furious about the leaked draft opinion that would overturn the landmark abortion case Roe v. Wade and "a recent spate of mass shootings," according to the Post, citing those sources.
Since last month's leak, which was reported by Politico, protesters have descended near the homes of conservative Supreme Court justices including Kavanaugh, Amy Coney Barrett, Chief Justice John Roberts, Neil Gorsuch, and Samuel Alito, who wrote the draft opinion.
Roberts denounced the leak and said that the draft decision, which he authenticated, isn't final and that he ordered the Marshal of the court to seek the leaker.
A decision in the case that could overturn Roe, Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization, is expected this month or early July.

Violence against individual judges or politicians is not an answer. We need millions of people pouring into the nations streets the day after Roe is repealed, thus sending a clear message to Congress.
Great another round of leftist "mostly peaceful protests".
Allow them to vent their anger. Destroy public property. Get in some looting and arson against businesses. Maybe destroy some police vehicles for good measure. Threaten a few Republican politicians, church goers, and Right to Life workers if things are too slow on the protesting front. They know full well they will not be held accountable; so why not have some leftist fun?
Because the right wing does it so much better?
The protests following Trumps inauguration in 2017 involved millions of people, and the vast majority of it was peaceful. The same thing can happen in regards to abortion, only with even more people.
Looks like the Pro-Abortion folks need to be added to the domestic terrorist watch list.
Which are only bible believing christians. So...yeah, go for it.
Yep looks like they may have to remove the moth balls and shake the dust out of the the ol' pink pussy hats.....................
Figured that it would confuse some. The christian bibles promotes abortions against the wills of the woman. Hence PRO -abortion, NOT Pro -choice.
If you feel the bible does not support abortions, slavery, pedophilia, and women as 2nd class citizens, you have NO understanding of the bible.
I provided quotes and verses in the bible to support it being pro-abortion, you have provided nothing.
So you are saying that the bible is worthless hogwash, since that is where the quotes and verses originated from.
You mean my posts that I backed up with facts and quotes and specific references? As opposed to your posts, which basically consisted of "uh-uh"?
I don't care about one's faith, add them to the terrorist watch list.
Because your words are based on an underlying falsehood.
I provided bible quotes and your response was that the bible, or the information in the bible, was "worthless hogwash". Your specific words.
I already told you what you wrote. I repeat:
Your response was that the bible, or the information in the bible, was "worthless hogwash". Your specific words.
You are now claiming that I didn't understand what you wrote, despite my quoting and repeating YOUR EXACT WORDS several times now.
You said something, that you now realize you shouldn't have, so instead of admitting it, you have chosen to gaslight the truth.
No, that's the republicans
"We need millions of people pouring into the nations streets the day after Roe is repealed, thus sending a clear message to Congress."
The millions pouring into the streets will likely be somewhat equally divided, since there two sides to this issue
Millions of people divided by a political issue pouring into the streets to voice their anger or jubilation.
What could possibly go wrong?
Now, why would house Democrats hold this up? I guess the security of the SCOTUS Justices aren't as important as the security of the House.
If a happy accident occurs and one of the conservative judges dies; then the Democrats will do the proper condolences and belated calls for peace and peaceful protest only; and within a month be screaming at Republicans for their new nominee to be confirmed.
"Never let a good crisis go to waste", especially if the Democrats can manufacture that crisis themselves.
Not really a surprise. We've already seen domestic terrorist attacks against pregnancy centers following the leak and getting a conservative justice killed may have been the entire point. Given Schumer's embrace of violent rhetoric, the administration's refusal to condemn doxxing of justices and Pelosi's refusal to pass a bipartisan bill to protect Supreme court justices, the democrats are doing everything they can to signal violence is okay without actually crossing the line to incitement. We are lucky no one has been killed, yet.
It goes without saying the reaction to an attempted assassination would be so much stronger if it was a right wing affiliated person trying to kill Sotomayor and Republican politicians had been acting like Schumer and the Democrats.
Agreed, it is not a surprise that the more radical among the pro-choicers have adopted the methods of the more radical among the pro-lifers.
Hopefully he will be sentenced like the more radical among the pro-lifers that use those tactics.
Exactly.
"The suspect, a 26-year-old male, told law enforcement he wanted to kill Kavanaugh."
That's pretty much NOT allegedly....................
James Hodgkinson was the "alleged" shooter in 2017.
Well, if he's a Dem/Lib, that gives him room to walk back saying that no one really understood that was not what he meant when he said that.
Let's not forget that he called the cops, ON HIMSELF!! So, by right wing logic, he qualifies as "a good guy with a gun".
That makes absoLUTEly no sense.
You been drinking with Pelosi? That would be the only way that would make sense.
And by left wing logic he will be released w/o charges; because there isn't enough evidence to prosecute.
The ignorance of that statement goes beyond all reason.
Well gee, he didn't actually kill the whiny little bitch so case dismissed right? No problem right?
That's pretty much the liberal stance on it.

Per Chuck Schumer......................
"I want to tell you, Gorsuch, I want to tell you, Kavanaugh: you have released the whirlwind, and you will pay the price," Schumer said at the rally . "You won't know what hit you if you go forward with these awful decisions."
Sean Davis had a nice point:
”“Now go peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard”
“You have released the whirlwind, and you will pay the price. You won’t know what hit you.”
Guess which one of these quotes led to a media meltdown, impeachment, and over a year’s worth of congressional inquisitions.”
