Police have arrested a gun-toting nut job who planned to murder U.S. Supreme Court Associate Justice Brett Kavanaugh because of the Court’s impending decision to overturn Roe v. Wade, the 1973 decision that legalized the mass murder of the unborn up until birth.
The kook called police to say he was about to kill the 57-year-old Kavanaugh.
On Twitter, conservatives are blaming leftists such as Senator Chuck Schumer, the New York Democrat, for threatening justices with incendiary language that could easily be seen as encouraging violence.
Admitted Assassination Plan
“Officials say the man, identified as Nicholas John Roske, 26, was armed with a handgun, a knife, pepper spray and burglary tools,” NBC reported:
He was stopped a block away from the justice’s house. And when police detained him, he said he was there to kill Kavanaugh, these officials say.
Officials said the man had called 911, and said during the call that he had homicidal thoughts, had traveled from California to attack the justice, and had a gun in his suitcase. He said the gun was unloaded and in a locked case. Officials said the man is from Simi Valley.
The Washington Post reported that the man is upset about the decision in Dobbs v. Jackson that will overturn Roe:
Two people familiar with the investigation said the initial evidence indicates that the man was angry about the leaked draft of an opinion by the Supreme Court signaling that the court is preparing to overturn Roe. v. Wade, the 49-year-old decision that guaranteed the constitutional right to have an abortion. He was also angry over a recent spate of mass shootings, these people said.
Kavanaugh lives in Chevy Chase, Maryland, a suburb of Washington, D.C., about three miles from the city line.
Larry Hogan, the hate-Trump GOP governor of Maryland, wants security increased outside the homes of justices who live in Maryland.
“I call on leaders in both parties in Washington to strongly condemn these actions in no uncertain terms,” Hogan said. “It is vital to our constitutional system that the justices be able to carry out their duties without fear of violence against them and their families.
In a statement to Fox News, a spokesman for President Joe Biden said he wants Congress to pass legislation to increase security for public officials.
“President Biden condemns the actions of this individual in the strongest terms, and is grateful to law enforcement for quickly taking him into custody,” Andrew Bates said:
As the President has consistently made clear, public officials — including judges — must be able to do their jobs without concern for their personal safety or that of their families. And any violence, threats of violence, or attempts to intimidate justices have no place in our society.…
The President supports legislation to fund increased security for the Court and Judges.
Democrats to Blame?
Problem is, House Democrats led by leftist Nancy Pelosi blocked the bill.
“This is where we are.… If these reports are correct, an assassination attempt against a sitting justice, or something close to it,” Republican Senate Leader Mitch McConnell during a floor speech:
House Democrats have spent weeks blocking the measure that passed here unanimously related to security for Supreme Court justices. That needs to change, and it needs to change right now.… No more fiddling around with this.… They need to stop their multi-week blockade against the Supreme court security bill and pass it before the sun sets today.
Conservatives on Twitter recalled the ominous threat from Schumer in 2020 when a case before the Court could have overturned Roe.
“I want to tell you, Gorsuch, I want to tell you Kavanaugh, you have unleashed a whirlwind, and you will pay the price,” Schumer fumed. “You won’t know what hit you if you go forward with these awful decisions.”
The crowd cheered the unhinged rant, which Schumer tried to cover.
“We will tell President Trump and Senate Republicans who have stacked the court with right-wing ideologies that you’re going to be gone in November, and you will never be able to do what you’re trying to do now ever, ever again,” Schumer said. “You’re gone in November.”
And Democrats are going to be gone this November if the election polls are any indication of where they stand with voters. The Real Clear Politics poll of the generic vote gives the GOP a 3.1-point lead, 46.3-43.2.
But Democrats on Capitol Hill aren’t the only culprits.
Just after Dobbs v. Jackson leaked, an outfit called Ruth Sent Us doxxed the conservative justices the group wanted harassed and threatened.
Soon after, protesters showed up outside their homes.
